Linda Finkle: How to Make Better Decisions Using Intuition

Episode Notes

Linda Finkle, CEO of Incedo Group, assists businesses in making practical and long-lasting changes to solve core business problems.  The catalyst for change, her no-nonsense approach, and her first-hand experience in running a business is evident in the success of the companies she has helped.    

Linda has developed an exceptional background when it comes to people and communication challenges faced by companies. With an uncanny ability to immediately discover and delve deep into a business’ real problems, Linda has helped many companies by leading changes in employee attitude, communication and company culture. 

Her insights have prompted even some of the most established executives to re-think their strategies and communicate with people in better ways.  Not only have both productivity and revenue improved, but relationships both in and outside of the organization.  

Linda’s success among the dozens of organizations she helped led to the spotlight of major business and investment publications. She has been interviewed in Harvard Business Review, Investor’s Business Daily, US News and World Report, Reuters, and The Wall Street Journal amongst numerous other publications.  

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Linda Finkle discuss:

• Retaining employees in the era of The Great Resignation
• People or profits - valuing people and your company’s bottom line
• Genuinely valuing crucial conversations
• The role of coaching in the future
• Using intuition in the workplace

Key Takeaways:

• Employees stay not only because of money, it’s not enough. People join organizations and interact with human beings. People need to feel valued, important, and connected with other people in the organization.
• Believe it or not, caring for people in your company is actually good for the company’s bottom line and reputation. Investing in people is always worth it.
• Shift situations from “this is a confrontation” mindset to “this is a conversation.”
• The greatest need we have is not to be heard but to be understood. So don’t talk to convince. Talk to understand.
• We must make space for intuitive decisions in the boardroom. It’s a tool that’s complex and many times cannot be explained, but is very useful. 
   

"People and profits can go together. They don’t have to be siloed or one or the other." —  Linda Finkle
