Today's show is about disciplining your employees and holding them accountable. Lazy and careless employees can stunt an organization's growth. What are some effective ways of preventing this ?

Employee insubordination is a common problem that employers and managers have to deal with. And our caller, Michael is no different. Michael recently discovered that a careless employee left drone batteries to charge the entire night - totally unattended. Can this have serious repercussions? Are overheated drone batteries prone to blowing up? We share some valuable battery maintenance tips that will help you conduct your business, safely and with improved profitability.

You will also learn some great ways to manage undisciplined employees who are failing to stick to critical business procedures. This is a problem that you want to nip in the bud. Or else there could be serious fallouts for you and your business. Thanks for the question, Michael. Fly Safe!
