During a recent visit to Kearney, Nebraska, I had the pleasure of staying at a property run by Younes Hospitality, where I observed how friendly and motivated all the staff members were, from the housekeeping staff to the employees at the front desk. To learn more about this positive environment, I spoke with owner Paul Younes, who shared some amazing insights about fostering employee relationships, creating a supportive workplace, and how leaders can learn to really treat their employees like family. 1:00 – The manufacturing industry can learn a lot from the hospital industry 1:20 – When everyone on the team is happy, customers, clients, and others can tell

3:18 – To cut down on retention issue, create a great environment for your employees

4:20 – You’re only as good as your employees

5:25 – Without great team members, a leader can’t thrive and succeed

7:00 – It’s important to use empathy and understand that all employees have different needs

10:29 – It’s simple: respect others and they will respect you

11:50 – In both manufacturing and hospitality, a little connection can go a long way
