HR isn’t about cupcakes, warm fuzzies and compliance anymore.
At least… it shouldn’t be.
In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, we spotlight the real power of strategic HR leadership—the kind that solves business problems so big, the C-suite can’t afford to ignore them.
Forget chasing recognition. This is about attracting bigger raises, faster promotions, and boardroom-level influence by delivering measurable impact.
What You’ll Learn
✅ The difference between transactional and transformational HR
✅ How to identify and fix expensive people problems
✅ Why HR should be viewed as a profit center—not just a cost

00:00I recently asked an employer that had a payroll of about $10 million what he thought was the
00:06discretionary effort of his average employee. He pondered that question for a moment, said
00:11probably 60%. I think our average employee gives about 60% of an all-out effort on average every
00:17day. That meant he was paying $10 million a year in salaries, but was only getting $6 million worth
00:24of labor done for that. It was a $4 million a year profit leak. Then I asked him, if someone was
00:30embezzling $4 million a year, how long would you wait to fix it? Well, he said he'd handle it right
00:35away. Then I asked him what he's waiting for. His answer, he didn't know how, and he didn't have the
00:39tools.
