Every company should have a process to make certain every team member's conclusion of employment occurs in a manner that is positive, complete, and legally compliant… 

The Time is Worth It

Think again if you think you don’t have time to start and manage an internship program.

Interns help you hire great raw talent and fill gaps as you have turnover. 

Good People Are in Short Supply

The war for talent is real.  It is global.  It is getting progressively worse each year.

One issue is highly skilled, experienced workers are retiring in large numbers as they age.

Too often people get promoted to leadership without any training.  Then they struggle or fail.  It’s not fair.  They were good or even superstar team members previously.  

Everyone has heard of Caitlin Clark.

The young basketball phenom recently led her Iowa Hawkeyes to the NCAA title match against South Carolina. To put it lightly, she is redefining basketball and women’s sports with her superstardom.

Why do top players join one team over another?

Think about the relationships in your life.  There are reasons why you’re in each of those relationships.  It’s more than having something in common.  From family members to friends, each person in your life provides value, meaning, and security.  As an organization, you need to do the same.

How are you doing on your priorities? Could you improve in 2023?

According to Malcolm Gladwell, the "tipping point" is

"that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire."

One of the reasons I wrote my first book, Success With People, is because of the realization that I had leadership tendencies rather than true leadership skills.

Years ago, I was speaking with a coworker about a particular manager. The coworker commented that the manager really felt he was a leader. After further consideration, we realized he was more of a competitor than a leader…

One important aspect of effective leadership is to make certain you and your people are focusing on key priorities each day. You can’t do that unless you are communicating with your team and hearing from them regularly.

The solution? A daily huddle.

Ask yourself, what are your biggest problems - employee or Client issues? Why do you have these problems?

Regardless of what they are, I’m willing to bet your problems are occurring because the experience your employees have working for you or the experience your Clients have buying and receiving services from you is not meeting or exceeding their expectations.

Years ago we worked with LaRae Que, a former FBI agent and author of the book, SECRETS of a Strong Mind (2nd edition): : How to Build Inner Strength to Overcome Life's Obstacles.

LaRae spent twenty years as an undercover and counterintelligence agent for the FBI and served as an FBI spokesperson in Northern California for four years. During her time as a counterintelligence agent, her primary goal was to identify foreign agents operating in the United States, find out what they were doing, stop them, assess their potential as an asset, and persuade them to work for the U.S. government.

Too often people get promoted into leadership without any training. Then they struggle or fail. It’s not really fair. They were good or even superstar employees previously. Why not train them on the essentials of being a great leader so they can thrive?

Do you have leaders with one of these three issues?

1. Leadership attributes, but poor habits and processes.

2. Individual superstar, but limited skills guiding a team, or

3. Average / low performance individually and/or of their team.

If you answered “Yes” that you or one of your leaders has one or more of these issues, then your leaders do NOT know the essentials of leadership.

Here is one way to start.

The mission of Yoko Co. is: Do Good. Better.

Yoko Co. is a digital marketing and creativity SWAT team. They reached 127 million people in 2020.
