Todd Piche shared thisTruth... Mindset matters!Todd Piche shared this“I can’t” can become a full stop. “I’ll learn” keeps the sentence going. Great share by: Utkarsh Narang Original post below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ “I can’t” can become a full stop. “I’ll learn” keeps the sentence going. There’s a big difference between these two statements: “I can’t do this.” and “I don’t know how to do this yet.” The first closes the door. The second asks a better question: “What do I need to learn?” That shift matters in leadership too. A leader who believes they have to know everything will often: → Avoid asking for help. → Hide mistakes. → Defend what they already know. → Stop taking risks. → Expect the same from their team. But leaders who stay curious create a very different environment. They can say: “I don’t know.” “I got that wrong.” “Show me.” “Let’s figure it out.” Those aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signs that you’re still learning. And the same applies to your team. Instead of asking: “Why can’t you do this?” try: “What would you need to learn to do this?” That small change can turn a performance conversation into a development conversation. You don’t need to be capable of everything. You need to be willing to learn what you don’t know. Because sometimes the biggest barrier to growth isn’t a lack of ability. It’s deciding too early that you can’t. -------------- DM us to be featured on our next post Your best asset is your Emotional Intelligence :). Follow if you want to sharpen those skills.

Todd Piche reposted thisTodd Piche reposted thisWorkplace bullying gets attention, but "workplace mobbing" is far more insidious—and destructive. Unlike a single toxic boss or difficult coworker, mobbing is a systematic group dynamic. It occurs when peers, managers, or subordinates collectively isolate, undermine, and emotionally abuse a targeted employee. Because it often operates under the radar of traditional HR frameworks, the damage unfolds silently—with catastrophic consequences for both individuals and companies. The Human Cost: Psychological: Severe anxiety, Complex PTSD symptoms, clinical depression, and loss of professional identity. Physical: Chronic stress activates prolonged cortisol release, leading to hypertension, sleep dysfunction, gut issues, and burnout. The Organizational & Financial Cost: Individual impact: Lost income, massive healthcare/therapy expenses, legal bills, and derailed career trajectories. Corporate impact: Soaring turnover, plummeting productivity, increased sick leave, and severe risk to brand reputation and legal liability. A healthy culture doesn't just address overt harassment; it actively watches for subtle exclusion, group dogpiling, and systematic isolation. Have you seen organizations successfully combat group dynamics like mobbing? #WorkplaceCulture #HRStrategy #Leadership #MentalHealthAtWork #OrganizationalHealth #PsychologicalSafety

Todd Piche reposted thisTodd Piche reposted thisI interviewed a candidate this week whose commitment to his current company is wavering. He works for an organization that sells multi-million-dollar equipment, yet, there’s a constant stream of new faces. Why? The organization has a reputation for not treating employees very well, and as a result, have high turnover. We’re talking very high. This creates a bigger problem than simply having to replace employees. His company is supposed to be an expert in the heavy equipment industry. Yet, how can a company be an expert in its industry if it can't retain the people who have spent years becoming experts? Customers get tired of seeing new faces. They want their go-to person, someone who knows their business, understands their equipment, has years of experience, and knows what their talking about. Trust takes years to build. And it can disappear surprisingly quickly when experienced people continually leave. The unfortunate part is that this candidate is doing well and exceeding targets, but the constant turnover makes it challenging to deliver for his customers. As a result, he takes the grunt of it. I asked him whether he’s actively looking for other opportunities. His answer? “Depends on the day.” That was enough for him to take my call about an opportunity and a potential new role with an organization where several employees have been there for 20+ years. Immediately, that says something about an organization. When you create an environment where good people want to stay: You retain knowledge. You retain relationships. You retain experience. And you build expertise that compounds over time. The best companies give talented people a reason to stay. Treating employees well isn't just the "right thing to do." It’s a competitive advantage.

Todd Piche reposted thisTodd Piche reposted thisSometimes you're not underperforming. You're just in a workplace that doesn't know how to value what you bring. I remember watching someone spend years trying to prove themselves at work. They were dependable, took on difficult projects, helped colleagues whenever they could and rarely complained when the workload increased. Whenever something went wrong, they were usually one of the people asked to fix it. Still, it never seemed to be enough. When they completed something well, the conversation quickly moved to what they could have done better. When they took initiative, they were told they were stepping outside their role. When they asked for more responsibility, they were reminded of the things they hadn't achieved yet. After a while, they started questioning themselves. Maybe they weren't as good as they thought. Maybe they weren't working hard enough. Maybe everyone else was simply better. Then they joined another company. Nothing about their ability had changed. What changed was the environment around them. Their new manager trusted them with important work, asked for their opinion in meetings and actually noticed the effort they were putting in. Their colleagues appreciated what they brought to the team, and they finally had room to do their best work without constantly feeling like they had something to prove. Within a year, their confidence was completely different. That experience made me think about how quickly we blame ourselves when a workplace isn't a good fit. Sometimes the problem isn't your ability. It is the culture around you. A workplace can either give people the confidence to contribute or slowly convince them that their contribution isn't enough. That is why workplace culture matters so much. People spend a huge part of their lives at work, and the environment they work in can shape how comfortable they feel speaking up, taking initiative, making mistakes and growing. Four reflections for leaders: - Don't make good employees spend years proving that they deserve to be trusted. - Notice what people contribute before focusing on what they still need to improve. - Create an environment where people can disagree, ask questions and bring ideas without fear. - If someone consistently performs better after changing teams, look at the environment before blaming the person. Sometimes you can give everything you have to a workplace and still feel like you're falling short. Find a place where your strengths matter and your presence counts. In the wrong place, even your best may never feel enough. In the right place, people will see your value. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲?

Todd Piche liked thisTodd Piche liked thisI sold my business and tried to retire. It lasted... About two months. 😂 Even before I signed the papers, I was already thinking about what came next. In 2018, I sold Cooper Pest to Terminix after 34 years. The plan was simple: relax, enjoy life, take it easy. But something kept pulling at me. Creating something new. Helping people grow. Connecting with business owners in the trenches. Retirement wasn't the finish line I thought it was. So I started AGP, a front-line manager development program for service businesses. Then I became a Certified EOS Implementer. Now I coach leadership teams and help businesses run without the owner white-knuckling every decision. At 64, I'm more energized than I was at 54. Passion doesn't retire when you do. If you've got something inside you...a business idea, a way to help others, a skill the world needs...age isn't a reason to hold back. It might be the exact reason to go all in. Your 60s can be your most productive years. What's a passion or project you're still pursuing, or want to start, regardless of your age?

Todd Piche liked thisTodd Piche liked thisRecent recruiting research indicates a continued shift toward skills-based hiring. More employers are looking beyond job titles and focusing on what candidates have actually done and the skills they can bring to the role. The resume may look different. The experience doesn’t. If you're filling roles primarily based on job titles, you're leaving top talent behind.
