Leadership development for everyone in the blue collar workforce, those who support them, and those who lead them. Leadership is influence. Influence is built daily, not in a day. There are two types of influence: 1) Artificial influence which comes with a title, position, or rank and is reserved for those who have formal authority over others; and 2) Authentic influence which is based on a person's character and the relationships they build, and it's available to anyone with or without a position of authority because it's based on moral authority (who you are and how you do what you do).

468: Walkout or Talk It Out? Lessons from a Bold Demand

Join Mack and Ria Story as they dive into a compelling LinkedIn post that sparked Mack’s curiosity.

The story centers on a frustrated equipment operator who boldly marched into their boss’s office, demanding a raise and threatening to walk out if their demands weren’t met.

In this episode, Mack and Ria unpack the operator’s frustration, explore how the boss responded, and discuss what could have been done to avoid this high-stakes showdown.

They’ll also reflect on a bigger question: How many people quietly leave their jobs without ever speaking up?

This scenario plays out in workplaces everywhere, and Mack and Ria’s insights will leave you thinking about communication, leadership, and how to address frustration before it leads to farewells.

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that’s sure to resonate with anyone navigating workplace dynamics!
