They cover a question every leader is asking: how do you attract, keep and develop great people?\nSome of Brian's team members have been with him for decades. He explains what keeps them there: purpose, trust, a team that wants each other to succeed, and a \"beg for forgiveness later\" culture that lets people do what's right for the customer. He also talks about Complete Purchasing Services' partnership with Maxwell Management Group to recruit key leaders in British Columbia and Ontario, and why he hires for culture, not just credentials.\nIn this episode, you'll learn:\n- Why team members stay for decades, and the role of purpose and growth\n- How \"beg for forgiveness later\" builds trust and empowerment\n- Why recognition should fit the person, from handwritten notes to a shout-out at a town hall\n- Common onboarding mistakes that push good people away, and why new managers need people-management training\n- How to spot future leaders who lead without formal authority\n- Leading across generations and communication styles\n- Why cultural fit matters most when hiring for key roles, and the case for trusting the experts in executive search\nAbout Maxwell Management Group:\nThis podcast is brought to you by Maxwell Management Group, a national executive search and education firm specializing in the continuing care and healthcare sectors. For nearly two decades, they’ve partnered with organizations to build values‑driven leadership, vibrant workplace cultures, and purpose‑led employer brands.\nLearn more: maxwellmanagementgroup.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/iI4L1kkhlrM_ExGkgUOTEHWL14qjU_NGtIEjGmg7Yy4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNWY4/YzVmOWVjZjM2YmIx/NDUyZjBmOTRkY2Rh/ZmQ0OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
