Episode Notes

  1. Figure: 20 million people resigned from their jobs between spring and summer. In April, the number of workers who quit their job in a single month broke an all-time U.S. record. Highest. Ever. But then it did that again in July. And again in August. People who just up and leave their job, often without having another one lined up. Question: do you know if we see the same phenomena in Poland and what would be the driver in your opinion? 
  2. Fact: In the era of the new working environment where managing teams remotely becomes the norm. Question: What is the biggest challenge you see, especially regarding people management? what skills should leaders and businesses develop and invest in as core competencies going forward? PS: good placement for reflection on Sylwia's book "7 challenges for a leader."
  3. Research: Young people who grew up during the Great Depression 1930 and defended and supported the nation in World War II were coined "The Greatest Generation." Once past the traumas of these challenging years, this generation shared characteristics that included patriotism, a belief in the wisdom of government, and a frugality born of severe want. For Millennials, 9/11 and the global economic crisis and the aftermath of these events "which we arguably still living its consequence" A generation with an undeserved reputation for disloyalty. These experiences contributed to a profile of a generation more likely to seek order and meaning in their work. Question: how it looks for generation Z. Do we know what profile we are getting for generation Alpha?
  4. Question: building on the potential profile for generation Z, how could businesses support them and leverage that energy in growing their businesses. After all, it has to be a win-win!
  5. Opinion: A leader to me is either a catalyst to a business's success or a ticking bomb, and all boils down to how they interact with their teams. Reflecting on your work with leaders in the shared service centers - Question: what are the three ticket items that they should urgently work on? PS: Narrow it down to Poland. 
  6. Question: You are a busy camper. Could you tell me what the next big thing you are working on is?
