Ever wonder what 𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗭 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 will look like? Will they keep the same systems we’ve known for decades? Or will they finally build workplaces that fit the way humans actually work now? Gary Anello, didn’t sugarcoat it.... He thinks the old office model’s already on life support. And honestly? He’s right. You can feel it. The shift away from "SHOW UP" to "SHOW RESULTS." From cubicles and calendars to culture and contribution. This clip nails that transition, the exact moment we stop measuring productivity by presence and start measuring it by output.

From daily call tracking to travel analysis, everything is measured with precision. Because in sales, the biggest “grey area” isn’t performance — it’s manipulation.

Next week we start the Rethink Retail 2026: The Mindful Reset — an Innovate ON Purpose podcast series featuring retail’s sharpest minds shaping the future of the industry. Yesterday I shared Scott Benedict's insights. This time, we’re talking leadership and culture with Barney 🌞 Stacher, who shares what retail can learn from hospitality — without adding payroll or being in stores 24/7. 💡 Empower your front line. Give them the authority to make decisions — and the accountability to own them. Create a culture where feedback is safe, individuality is respected, and customers always come first. As Barney says, retail—like hospitality—is a community of different people. The best leaders create frameworks that allow individuality to thrive within shared purpose. 🎧 This episode drops next week on the Innovate ON Purpose podcast — part of our “fast and furious” five-episode sprint leading up to The Innovators Exchange: Retail Perspectives Live. Don’t miss the grand finale: streaming Nov 14 at noon ET. We’ll bring together retail’s greatest minds to explore where they’re focusing for 2026.

The Rethink Retail 2026: The Mindful Reset series continues — an Innovate ON Purpose podcast lineup featuring the sharpest minds reimagining the future of retail. In this episode, I sat down with Joshua Rockoff, former CEO of Kmart, who’s led brands through both growth and distress. His advice? Growth isn’t always about spending more — it’s about thinking differently. 💡 “You can still grow without spending big. Use organic channels. Use smaller creators. Focus on the real connections, not the flashy ones.” Whether you’re leading a brand that’s thriving or one that’s fighting to reinvent itself, this mindset shift is everything. The episode drops next week on Innovate ON Purpose — part of our “fast and furious” five-episode run leading up to The Innovators Exchange: Retail Perspectives Live hosted by RETHINK Retail. Join us Nov 14 at noon ET for the grand finale conversation — where retail’s greatest minds will share where they’re placing their bets for 2026.

Tight margins are a reality for many organizations, and when budgets get squeezed, training and development is often the first thing to go. Even small office perks like coffee and tea tend to be protected over investing in people. But cutting back on learning and development can cost more in the long run. Not just in skills gaps, but in staff engagement, innovation, and overall organizational growth. Investing in your team isn’t an expense; it’s building the foundation for long-term success. 🎧 Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/4gQSp1k #WorkplaceCulture #TrainingAndDevelopment #Leadership #ComplyPlusPresents
