Episode 1414:
Seth Godin challenges the notion of labeling front-line workers as the bottom of the organization, advocating instead for treating them as the foundation. He argues that employees thrive with respect, engagement, and a sense of control, and he outlines steps for leaders to foster a non-cynical, committed, and respectful workplace that ultimately benefits everyone.

Quotes to ponder:
"Imagine that throughout your career you were paid as little as legally possible, the last to be hired and the first to be laid off. Why is it surprising to bosses, then, that some workers respond to this arrangement by doing as little work as possible?"
"People actually want to do a good job. They want to be proud of their work, they appreciate being engaged, they thrive when they have some measure of control over their day."
"Step 1: A commitment, from the top, that this place is going to be different. The commitment is open-ended. It involves leading and showing up and keeping promises, for months and years into the future."
