In this episode of the PioneerCast, Dwayne Abels hosts Scott Rupp, the author of 'I Quit: Winning the War for Top Talent.' They discuss the changing dynamics in our workforce, post-COVID-19, and the impact it has on leadership.

Scott argues that trauma from the pandemic caused a significant emotional event that has led to a shift in work values and spurred the 'Great Resignation.' He also introduces the idea of the 'Great Disconnect' between what employers think employees want and what employees actually desire. The conversation emphasizes the importance of leaders truly understanding their team members and learning how to better serve them to maintain engagement. Scott shares his journey and how the 'Pioneering Leader Bootcamp' played a role in his book.
