Facts

You deserve milions views. You are right on spot, great breakdown. This is a comment of a person that runs a team builing company for almost 20 years now and I concur with everything you said.

I usually stay up too late playing guitar. I have no interest in playing during the day.

Working in the Aerospace manufacturing industry. I’m not surprised I never see any of these surveys. Union shop by the way.

This is the first video of yours that I'm watching after typing in for advice. May 1 is my birthday, so I guess i should order your book. Thanks much.

You can extend this idea also to help teach one of your people how to convince you or their argument. Many people might have a good idea and a bad sales pitch, and that can be a very valuable way to mentor, and even better make sure the best ideas and not best sales pitches make it to the final round

I worked for a homeland security lab in NJ, witnessing and experiencing myself abuse of some independently thinking employees by management as well as the abuse of quality and statistical science. After the annual employee surveys at both the homeland security lab and its former aviation organization across the street, managers would hold postmortem meetings to identify low scorers and attempt to intimidate them. Apart from contaminating the survey, the survey itself and managerial "analysis" of the results were also problematic. And, the remedies were designed to fail when the management tried to gaslight staff and redirect attention to trivial mattress, as opposed to taking some accountability for their mismanagement and politicking to reinforce and protect their positions. They were deluded, unwilling to accept responsibility for their own failures, opting for a gaslit interpretation and fun and games fixes. No chance at reform when those who need to reform are controlling and unwilling to break their addictive thinking so damaging to the missions.

Sadly l came across Team Leaders who think that the team members work for HIM. He use to say " I AM THE BOSS!" all the time. We lost all respect for the guy.

FYI from my experience as an employee, My Philosophy is never ever trust management. I've seen these surveys used against us so I always declined to take these types of surveys if I'm ever asked to fill one out. But hey that's just me.

Is there a particular number of participants that should be involved in the exercise for the highest impact?

Well this is something interesting to think about... Thx for sharing @DavidBurkus 😊

This was evident in a UK TV show called " Back to the Floor" , ( This was before Undercover Boss). On that show, CEO"s/MD's, were tasked to do menial tasks. All of them said that theu weren't aware on the day to day task that the shop floor workers did in that organisation.

No regrets!!

Hello Have you heard of chanakya Neeti. You talk and idea work in top Multi national companies like Microsoft etc. And non of em would come to my city 😂 Best regards ✨️

Interesting point @DavidBurkus Can you make an long form video to get more in depth understanding over this thing......?

I walked out of my workplace after serving for 7 years, boss decided to throw my coffee away knowing I just bought it- I got tired of new people with no skills getting more benefits than myself and also the nepotism

Love it ❤ why does nobody talk about this in our companies?!

Great stuff. 👍

Sometimes corporate businesses are impossible to work for because they are so rich they lose connection at the lower level. All they are worried about is WallStreet numbers. 5 years ago I was a maintenance guy for Arby's. My owner was a small franchise owner owning about 5 Arby's and he let me fix minor things that's did not require a license. I worked for him for 9 years and then he sold to the Flynn Restaurant Group which owns 30,000 chains, ie Taco bell, Panera bread, Arby's, Planet fitness and more. The regional manager came up to me and said to me that Flynn group does not recognize the maintenance position at the local level, give us your keys and by the way your still an employee, but since your not a manager you do not have any vacation and other benefits either. That shit pissed me off. I refuse to eat at any Fynn group or do business with them to this day.. They had their own maintenance guys who drove from Utah to Northern Idaho (800 miles) just to fix something. I bet the gas cost 500 $ round trip just to fix a wall outlet and a few light ballasts. In the past i would go to Home depot get a light Ballast, 20 bucks go back to Arby's and replace the broken light ballast. Instead this Fynn group decides to spend more money than they needed to. They did not know how good they had it, instead they threw it away ( local maintenance) and opted to spend more money than they needed to. They had their own hvac guys from Utah and all i had was cet electrical certificate. It's like they walked in and said go home we run this show now.

The problem is that companies want workers who will commit themselves and be loyal…..but Ive yet to work for a company that wants to give that back to their employee. They don’t even see us as human. We are numbers, that make numbers so that the higher ups can take more fancy holidays and buy designer bags….while we have 3 roommates in our 30’s because we can’t afford to live.

Firing an employee is easy for unskilled work, but if the position is an licensed electrician the employer may take a year to find someone qualified. I would even go as far to say if the position is a senior electrical engineer. It would take 2 years to find someone of that caliber. masters degree in electrical engineer, 5 years experience, c plus , plus, Linux , cad certifications etc... Good luck firing him and replacing him. The employer is better off working with the problem and resolving the issue at hand with the employee. Like i said if you remove the employee the employer might get screwed because i bet there are only less than 1 percent of the job force that chose electrical engineers in all the usa. The rest of the skilled trade are lawyers,doctors,hvac,plumber,framer,electricians,truck drivers. ect...

Great video!

This is a great self-assessment tool. Thanks for the thought provoking insight David!

Perfectly said 👍💪👏👏👏👏👏 thank you 🙏🏼

your key word here was "experiences" When a diverse team have experience in the field a project falls under, they will excel, however, if diversity is the only thing brought to the table, a room full of identical faces with related experience will always do better

I think I'm there

You're asking for a boss to actually blame themselves and change or fire themselves. Is the answer always to get another job?

very good topic covered well. helped me learn about something very important to me

I have never felt like i belonged to any team/group i have worked with. At best i have felt appreciated.

I saw this in a number of companies. They look at "bullying" as "strong management".

Thank you for the impactful takeaways on Team building

True. In my team we've done positive feedback sessions (facilitated by our manager) and that really helped. Lots of things we appreciate about our colleagues but never say out loud

Yes. By being at the office leaders often over heard more details in the daily work. That in itself makes them approachable as I can raise some detailed issue with my specific project for the past few days. When a leader knows less about my daily work I will not approach then with issues about what I actually do in detail

Yeah I'm a big fan of saying "can we try skipping this meeting the next two times?" and next time vote on if we need it again. Many people used to imagine the meeting was necessary or at least nice. But having experienced living without it just fine they rarely wanna vote it back

To me it can be a healthy outlet, when a team is doing good in general. Been in several teams who did good but we kinda complained about other parts of the org for fun during after works. It felt like a healthy outlet. It's often when people say "I don't wanna complain" that I feel they are seriously pissed about something.

eye opener

How would you determine what gets rewarded (and what doesn’t) without working there? Ie during the interview process

True

Agreed. The problem is that you have to work there for awhile before you see how they operate internally. Toxic companies suck👌

Love this 🙏🏼👍💪🩷

Integrity is rare, but when you find a company or team that values integrity, it is blissful.

Hi, how about being too open and honest with your manager in your concerns about the lack of productivity of your team and the manager just considers that uour colleagues slacking off is just another way of working ( considering that you are in charge in the team to increase their productivity scrum wise) Then, after you come back from a 3 weeks holidays, you’re layed off without a clear reason… after 3.5 years working in that company. 🤔

Recreational complaining.....yeah seen those in a team i worked in, back in 2020 when Covid19 pandemic took hold ....complaining for the sake of complaining 😢

Are you referring to the new trend - No Meeting Friday's...?
