Ep627: Mark Babbitt | President, WordIQ, Co-Author, Good Comes First
Employees of all generations desire—and deserve—workplaces where they feel respected and are validated for their ideas, efforts, and contributions, every day.

In record numbers, good people are leaving bad companies—or at least bad company cultures. To retain and attract top talent, today's leaders must now work with all stakeholders (not just shareholders) to co-create an uncompromising company culture where employees can expect respect while helping drive results. In other words, they must ensure good comes first.
