“Treat people as people. Not as generations.”
What do you do when you’re trying to understand how great leaders create organizations their people never want to leave? You go undercover of course. Our guest this week, retention and generational workforce expert, Clint Pulver, pulls back the curtain to reveal the research and unscripted truths of the 10,000+ employees he has interviewed as the Undercover Millennial – which unveils the reasons for their lasting loyalty – and what triggers them to head for the exit door.
A Professional Drummer for over 20 years, he’s played with top headlining fellow musicians in venues like the Vivint Arena, the Stadium of Fire, and the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. In 2010 he founded the UVU Drumline known as the Green Man Group, which he directed for six years and went on to direct the Drumline for the NBA’s Utah Jazz until 2015.
Known as the Leading Authority on Employee Retention, Clint helps organizations retain, engage, and inspire their team members from the front desk to the board rooms and everyone in between. He expertly helps audiences navigate generational complexities, communication challenges, leadership missteps, and cultural cues.
As the president and founder of The Center for Employee Retention, Clint has transformed how corporations like Keller Williams, AT&T, and Hewlett Packard create lasting loyalty through his work and research as “The Undercover Millennial”. For over a decade, he has been a self-motivated Entrepreneur who is well versed in business start-up, leadership, sales management, management training, and helping teams grow multi-million-dollar accounts. He uses that experience to create teachable relationship and business strategies based on trust, service, support, connection, and consistent follow-through.
“You cannot be the mentor until the mentee invites you into their heart.”
Clint strongly believes that a single moment in time can change a person’s life. He has traveled the world speaking to a wide spectrum of diverse audiences, challenging them to dream, excel, connect, and believe–both in themselves and in the power of others. For over a decade, Clint has dedicated his heart, his messages, and his business to helping organizations understand the younger generation and helping the younger generation better understand themselves by living a life of significance, rather than just a life of success.
Clint was featured in Business Q Magazine as one of their “Top 40 under 40” as a premiere Corporate Keynote Speaker. He has appeared on America’s Got Talent and in feature films with actors such as School of Rock’s Jack Black and Napoleon Dynamite’s John Heder.
On today’s episode of the MindShift Lab, we dive into his new book, I LOVE IT HERE: How Great Leaders Create Organizations Their People Never Want to Leave. Clint shares the 5 C’s of leadership he discovered by interviewing over 10,000 employees undercover, why leaders need to treat people as people not as generations, and why you can’t have significant loyalty without and significant connection.
