“I’m a busy person and listen to podcasts to generate ideas for leading my team, growing my career, and gaining advice on topics where I have gaps.
What I like: There are nuggets of great advice and information in this podcast. The hosts seem to have real world experience and that translates well in their conversation.
What I don’t like: It often takes forever to get to the point. It seems like 90 percent opinion and fluff with 10 percent actionable content. For example, a recent 5-part series on engagement surveys spent 4.5 episodes on why they are garbage and maybe .5 of that on what managers can actually do about them. It doesn’t help front line managers to know why engagement surveys are garbage — The surveys are not going anywhere. The hosts often go on extended tangents and repeat the same opinion in different ways multiple times, often those opinions have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
To keep me as a listener: Tighten up your agenda and talking points. Come prepared with points and with time limits for each. Provide peer reviewed evidence of the topic at hand and not just opinion. Opinion is fine, it just can’t be everything. Using the paid transcripts to gain the ability to weed out all the fluff isn’t a great selling point.”
