A Discussion of Talent

1 hour 18 minutes

Welcome Friends,

Today we will be talking about Talent. In this episode, I am talking with my previous boss Brandon Larson who is a logistics guy and a woodworker. Our overall conversation deals with talent between the generations and his management techniques to get the best out of his team. We discuss :

How Baby Boomers are aging out, Gen Xer's are taking over and Millenials are filling in the gap behind

Millennials have many ways to gain experience besides just working a job, Youtube, 500 cable channels, internet resources

Brandon's approach to managing different generations

How he learned how to do woodworking by watching YouTube channels and getting plans through Pinterest

How due to making more objects and furniture he was able to increase his talent, learn by doing method

He reads a lot of online resources on management as an art form and gets to practice that on the job

How he uses mentorship to fill in his experience gaps

Starting a new talent, go with cheaper materials so that it costs less and the cost of failure is low and not a detriment

How he brings each individual's skills in the workplace to make a more cohesive tea
