In this episode, we will be joined by John Steier, the owner of Steier Flooring in Algona, Iowa, and a certified flooring installer with 18 years of experience in the floor covering industry. John will share his insights on navigating the employer-employee relationship and the challenges that arise when employers want their employees to succeed more than the employees themselves.

John will discuss the common pitfalls that business owners can fall into, such as advancing pay, allowing absences, or going above and beyond for employees without receiving adequate appreciation or return on investment. He will share his experiences and lessons learned in dealing with these challenges and finding a balance between supporting employees and maintaining a healthy employer-employee relationship.

We will explore the reasons why playing the role of "Captain Save A Ho" with team members, or constantly rescuing them from their mistakes or shortcomings, can be detrimental to the overall success of a business. John will provide insights on how to set clear expectations, establish boundaries, and create a culture of accountability within a team.

Join us as we learn from John Steier about navigating the challenges of the employer-employee relationship, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering employee growth while maintaining a professional and accountable workplace culture. Gain valuable insights on how to avoid the pitfalls of "Captain Save A Ho" mentality and create a successful and mutually beneficial working relationship with your team members.
