In this episode of the Punk Rock HR Podcast, visionary entrepreneur Robert Glazer joins Laurie to discuss fixing the two-week notice that most people give their bosses when they quit.


Known for founding Acceleration Partners, Robert brings a wealth of experience to our discussion, sharing his passion for nurturing work environments that foster growth and inspiration. He reveals the vital role of mentorship and how effective leadership at home can translate to success in the workplace, offering a holistic approach to development that transcends traditional boundaries.


We explore the delicate balance between maintaining high standards and managing workplace underperformance, emphasizing empathy and support over blame. The conversation highlights systemic issues such as the restrictive link between U.S. healthcare and employment and the complex web of state employment laws. Through these discussions, we advocate for reforms that would benefit businesses and employees alike, revealing the disparities these challenges create, especially for small businesses.


Amid these challenges, we focus on strategies for successful employee transitions and positive exits, drawing lessons from companies like McKinsey. We illustrate how organizations can maintain a thriving culture and prepare for success through effective preparation and open communication.
