Squirrel alert! Royce and Mia catch up after being knee deep in travel. They share a recent experience in their first-time conference emceeing gig, observation of talent, diversity and how it impacts cultural fit in the Great Resignation.

The Great Resignation has been splashed across headlines for months. One of The Leadership Experiment's listeners writes in and asks if he should join in. Royce and Mia discuss it along with some practical advice when leaving the current job.

Royce and Mia tackle two questions in this episode where they clearly need a better producer. In the day and age where remote work is becoming the norm, what should an employee do when they think their job can be remote, but the boss says no? What should the employee consider and how can they make a case? Mia also brings up the topic of gift giving in the workplace. The holidays may have passed, but there are many opportunities during the year to give gifts. What about gifting to the boss? Is this ever appropriate?

We've all been in a situation where we felt the boss was wrong. Do you just submit and support? Or, do you attempt to let them know? Is one option better than the other? Royce and Mia debate this topic. If you want to skip the love-fest reunion of the two hosts after a brief hiatus, jump ahead a few minutes.

With recent headlines debating the sustainability of the hybrid or remote office, Royce and Mia continue the conversation about returning to work in this sort-of-Part-2. Somehow Royce works in Mrs. Doubtfire and Naked and Afraid to support his hypothesis. 

One of them was anti-remote work. One supported it even before pandemic life. One of them thinks remote working is a luxury. One doesn't. Listen in as Royce and Mia talk about what leaders should be considering as they approach their return to work strategy.
