Joe dropped by to share his wisdom about encouraging employee commitment. There is much tension between leaders and employees and Joe gives practical suggestions about what leaders can do to make their companies “destination organizations”.  We also explore the Employalty Scorecard and its critical ingredients for maximum engagement. I was specifically interested in the importance of flexibility as it relates to a job being an ideal fit. He paints a frank picture of the current world of work and the opportunities we must reach for.

Joe Mull is the author of 3 books including “No More Team Drama” and “Employalty: How to Ignite Commitment and Keep Top Talent in the New Age of Work”. He is the founder of the BossBetter Leadership Academy and hosts the popular “Boss Better Now” podcast, which was recently named by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) as a “can’t miss show for leaders”.

Joe has taught leadership courses at two major universities and previously managed training at one of the largest healthcare systems in the U.S. Joe has appeared as an expert in multiple media outlets including Forbes, the International Business Times, on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and on Good Morning America. As you listen to Joe, you’ll find it no surprise that he is an in-demand speaker.
