249. Hunger Wins

249. Hunger Wins

How can you create a workforce of hungry people who aren't trying to prove their worth by the number of hours they work? And how can you help your coworkers build a sense of ownership and passion around their work?

In episode 249 of At The Table, Pat and Cody explore why “hunger wins” when it comes to building competitive, effective teams. They challenge the misconception that long hours translate to productivity. They also reveal how to create sustainable competitiveness that inspires people to go above and beyond—without burning them out.

Topics explored in this episode:


(0:40) Hunger and Competitiveness

* Global trends and misconceptions about competitiveness, including China’s 996 work model.


(4:12) The Pitfalls of Overwork

* Why excessive hours lead to burnout and inefficiency.


(7:25) Hunger in Organizational Culture

* Hunger can’t be legislated or regulated—it must be built into culture.

* The importance of avoiding extremes, hiring the right people, and providing flexibility.


(10:09) Ownership and Sustainable Competitiveness

* How ownership fuels hunger and why pushing employees is sometimes necessary for growth.


(15:41) Hiring Right and Protecting Culture

* The importance of hiring competitive people and quickly addressing poor fits.
