Season 3, Episode 248 Stop Trying to Retain Your People (feat. Travis Dommert & Mike Sipple Jr.) Connect & ask your leadership question here: Travis Dommert, Senior Client Executive, People & Performance, of One Digital has spent years sitting across from CEOs navigating the most personal transition in business: stepping into the top job. What he sees isn't a strategy problem - it's an identity problem. The leaders who get it right stop trying to be who the role was and start figuring out who the role needs to become. Mike and Travis unpack the CEO's one non-delegatable job - making meaning - and trace how trust, clarity, accountability, and the way you handle someone's first and last day all compound into the culture that either activates your people or quietly burns them out.
