Show Quotes

Increasing employee engagement ultimately translates into more bottom-line dollars.

In corporations, 3 out of 10 people are fully on board and engaged, meaning they’re aware of the mission and why they’re there; all of their energy is in the project. 5 out of 10 people are sleepwalking – they haven’t decided yet and are just showing up. 2 out of 10 people are actually working against forward movement.

It does not matter if you have 1,000 employees or 5 employees, it’s all handled the same.

The number one complaint from employees is that they don’t get enough information about where we are (as an organization) and where we’re going.

In reference to Robb’s friend, Grant Cardone: Money is important. If we’re talking about business, we’re talking about money. we’re not going to demonize it but we’re going to give it it’s due. It’s important, we need to talk about it. It’s about the profit. It’s important to talk about it in an organization – let that be an understanding that this is how we measure how we do in business.

Having a legitimate strategy around profit has freed me up in so many ways. Not knowing sucks and hurts business. Knowing is power.
