CBS will be premiering their new documentary-style show, Undercover Boss, after the Super Bowl this February.
Some of the nation’s biggest CEOs will go undercover and “get hired” into the front lines of their own companies to see how things really go. Fascinating concept.
Many of you are not CEOs or top executives in nation-wide corporations. You probably see your front lines on a regular basis; they’d probably recognize you if you tried to pull this.
So why are we bringing it up? So glad you asked.
- So you can learn from the CEOs of Waste Management, White Castle, 7-Eleven, etc. Things aren’t always what they seem in a company, whether there are two or two thousand employees.
- To encourage you to think about how to better appreciate your employees next year. You’re stressed out because of the economy, and you’re fairly sure that – at least for now – not many people are going to walk out on you. It’s easy to let employee-appreciation slip, but still bad for your company.
Maybe you can’t go undercover in your company, and maybe you don’t need to in order to see how things work. Whether or not it’s the intention, though, each one of these CEOs is going to appreciate their employees much more after this experience.
How are you trying to stay connected to the people who are making your company work?
