Episode Notes

Four forces that destroy culture and engagement

1. Their manager, people quit managers not their job
2. Job fit, just not the right fit
3. The team, not on the right team or a bad team
4. The culture, a bad culture

• Extroverts have to talk it out
• Introverts need to think it out

What does this mean?

• Send agendas to the introverts first, so they are ready and tell them what you need and want from them.
• Extroverts won't prepare, they will talk and disrupt. Be ready.
