ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Two sisters bought a pearl necklace at a Goodwill for sixty-nine cents. The appraisal came back at $50,000. Do you undervalue your team in a similar way? One designer at an architecture firm shared her underappraisal with Glassdoor because her owner had yet to ask. Porschia Parker-Griffin helps organizations unlock the millions of dollars of potential hiding inside their own teams. What would an appraisal of your team discover that you priced too low?

KEY INSIGHTS- Three core essentials attract top talent: real values rather than aspirational ones, a clear mission, and the points of distinction that separate you from every similar organization.
- Millennials and Gen Z team members tie themselves to mission and values. That alignment travels further than a salary bump or a full-time remote privilege.
- Pensions retired with the generation that earned them, which leaves values, mission, and alignment as the answer to "what are you working for?"
- What the executive team names as the problem is often a symptom or a byproduct of the real one.
- Listening at every level of the organization surfaces the friction points. Support usually looks like resources.
- One millennial designer posted on Glassdoor what she withheld from her owner and her manager. That post cost the firm its next round of top talent.
- Employers who skip engagement surveys in an employer's market still pay for high turnover, which signals the culture challenge underneath.
- Teresa Amabile's research across nearly 12,000 diary entries names progress on meaningful work as the strongest predictor of workday engagement.
- An assessment gives you the deep read on your team's personality, and both Dr. Joey and Porschia hold decades of MBTI practitioner experience.
Porschia's one thing: understand deeply the personality of your team.
This week, take these three steps:
- Choose one assessment and run it with your whole team.
- Sit down with each team member and ask what the results name that you had priced too low.
- Focus on one strength of each person and strengthen it with a to-do this quarter.
