“Many people spend nearly half their waking hours in relationship with this other person who has power over them, and that’s weird. It’s kind of unnatural, because most people, whether conscious or not, don’t feel comfortable with other people having power over them.”

Join father and son duo, Mike and Ethan Nash, as Mike steps up onto one of his favorite soapboxes and Ethan attempts to reconcile with the fact that his father is also his boss. This episode is about the Power Differential: the power managers have over their direct reports, and how to use it for good and not for evil. Having another adult in your life who has so much control over your time, tasks, and more is a bit…weird. So, how do we, as managers, wrestle with the fact that most people don’t like it when others have power over them, while still being responsible for running a productive workplace? They discuss how to avoid exaggerating the Power Differential without completely eliminating it, and why it’s vital for an organization’s health that managers understand this concept.

“You can pay employees for their back and their hands, but they volunteer their hearts and their brains.”   - Dr. Stephen R. Covey

Join father and son duo, Mike and Ethan Nash, as they discuss a topic that may cause you to say, “Come on, enough already. The subject of morale has been beaten into the ground.” The Nash’s response to that? No, it hasn’t, because they work with leaders all the time who really don’t get what morale really is, why it truly matters, and why they must never stop talking about it. In this episode, Mike and Ethan discuss the four sources of morale, why morale is your job as a manager, what you get when you have a low-morale workplace, all the really cool things you get with high-morale, tactics for assessing your workplace’s morale, and more. Their bottom line? High morale in the workplace is the only way you’ll get all the cool things you can’t pay for or punish for.
