Pints, Pies & Profits Pints, Pies & Profits
Running a business is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. Everyone thinks you've got it figured out. Most days, it feels like you're not so sure. …Built around a Richard Branson quote — employees first, customers second — this episode is a deep dive into how to identify, keep, and lead A-grade talent, even in a tight labour market.
You'll learn:
-What actually defines an "A-grader" (and why they'll leave a B-grade environment no matter the market);
-The annual "Keep Test" — would you fight to keep this person, or feel relief if they left?;
-The Goal-Role-Remind leadership framework for keeping any team aligned and engaged;
-What motivates people beyond pay (autonomy, acknowledgement, purpose); and why "catch it quick, catch it small" applies just as much to praise as to problems.
Beer: Behemoth Hophemoth Triple Hazy IPA (10%) & Urbanaught Altamira Bright Double IPA (8%)
Pie: Hangi pies from Blue Rose Café, Sandringham (pork belly, pumpkin/kūmara & more)
