Most of the time there’s a mismatch between ‘job’ and ‘person’ - 

• Jobs need to be filled. Finding passionate and knowledgeable help, that’s just a bonus! 
• People need work. Finding something you enjoy at a good company, that’s for the lucky few.

Even the best ‘matched’ positions (right person) are usually not quite right (wrong job).

It’s crazy that this is the accepted standard!

It has a negative impact on the company (customer attrition, environment, co-workers, etc.), the worker (mental, physical and emotional health, family, time, etc)  and the customer (feeling slighted, not heard, abused, etc). 

Yet we live like this every day of the year. It’s the norm, it’s built into the ‘cost of doing business’. 

This week, Maren and Stephanie tackle this important leadership issue - yes, it does fall on the shoulders of leaders - through a story about Maren’s dog, Jemma, and a trip to the vet (no animals were harmed in the recording of this podcast).

There is a way to ask for help, to get the help we need and for it to be a win-win-win. However, we need to rewrite the playbook, to think, and act, differently. Our planet desperately needs people who are ready to think differently. Are you one of them?
