Be the Boss Everybody Wants to Work For

It’s a Zen thing… you don’t fix turnover by fixing turnover. You can’t stop someone from leaving. What you can do is hire the right people to begin with, and treat them the way you want to be treated. Get to know your employees as people, let them know your door is open, and make them feel integral. It’s basic stuff that often gets lost when leadership plays the “Power Game.” The old “My Way or the Highway” doesn’t cut it anymore. Follow the principles in this course, and you will become the boss everybody wants to work for!

How to Create a Cohesive Team

Everybody wants to be part of something bigger than themselves.

It's like magic to watch a group of people, from different backgrounds, with different skill levels, working together to achieve a common goal. That’s why team sports fascinate us. To create magic, you need an overarching goal. In football, it's winning the Big Game and getting the chance to hoist that trophy. Your business will have a different goal, but it has to be something Everybody— there’s that word again— wants to achieve.

Course Summary

“Nobody does their best work in a climate of fear.” 

These were the wise words of Hall of Fame general manager, Tex Schramm, of the original Dallas Cowboys. This is the first of a series of rules from Tex, and a couple of other sources, which make up this course. The theories are so simple, they are often overlooked. The value of this course cannot be overestimated.

No football knowledge is required. We're not talking about the field here, we're talking about the place where Mark worked— the front office.

This is not one of those courses that requires you to spend two hours a day in front of a computer for three months. The lessons are concise and to the point. It's 100% online, so you can work at your own pace.
