Andy is so thrilled to be welcoming his business partner, Robert Sherman, back to the show! Robert is Andy’s business partner at Kushner Entertainment and is also the owner of Washington Talent, a legendary entertainment company established over 55 years ago. Together, Andy and Robert tackle the topic of employee retention, discussing how to keep employees engaged, happy, and loyal over the long term. Robert shares some valuable insights from his decades of experience, explaining how hiring for company culture is just as crucial as hiring for skill sets and emphasizing the importance of communication, ensuring that employees not only understand but also believe in the organization's goals. Robert's approach to management is rooted in collaboration rather than hierarchy. Avoiding terms like “boss” and “employee,” he instead opts to lead through transparency and mutual respect. He also discusses the importance of flexibility in modern workplaces, citing examples from his own company where remote work has helped retain top talent. Tune in to hear practical tips on employee motivation, such as offering periodic bonuses, staying ahead of salary increases, and understanding individual motivations beyond monetary compensation. This conversation is filled with actionable advice for leaders looking to foster loyalty and long-term commitment within their teams while maintaining a positive and productive work culture!
