Who just popped into your head when you think about jerks at work, and what's keeping you from having that difficult conversation that could transform both them and your culture?

Discover how to deal with workplace jerks before they destroy your team on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Rich "The HR GUY" Salon returns to share insights from his new book "The One Minute Jerk at Work," revealing how bad behavior erodes confidence, damages morale, and hurts career fulfillment for everyone. 

Listen as Dr. Joey and Rich explore: ☀️ Why someone can ruin your day in less than 60 seconds but you don't have to let them  ☀️ How to bring awareness to jerks who may not even know they're being jerks  ☀️ Simple ways to let people create their own solutions instead of telling them what to do  ☀️ Why you're not doing anyone favors by ignoring bad behavior  ☀️ How to communicate a non-jerk culture when attracting top talent

Rich transforms how leaders approach difficult conversations by proving that helping people understand their jerk behavior often leads to positive change and stronger team performance.

🔑 Key Insight: "You're not doing anybody any favors if you just let it go by. One of the things that stands in the way of our fulfillment is the behavior of others around us. Bad behavior needs to be dealt with."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Think of your most challenging jerk situation right now. Instead of telling them what to do, ask powerful questions that help them create their own action plan to fix the behavior they created.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
