20/20 Money Episode #304 – How to lead Millennials, the importance of asking good questions, and building relationships with your team: a conversation with Chris Tuff

September 2, 2024

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money!

My guest on today’s show is Chris Tuff. Chris is the author of the book The Millennial Whisperer and in this conversation we talk about all things related to leading a team. As one might expect, a lot of the conversation that we had is applicable to leading all team members—not just Millennials. We talk about the importance of understanding your employees’ purpose and what they want out of their career…not just their purpose in your organization. Chris shares a simple way to build better connections with your team and the impact that has on your organization. Overall this was a very enjoyable conversation, highlighting the responsibility that we as leaders have to the team we employ, while also sharing practical solutions to implement these concepts.
