2023-09-0722 minAgency Leadership PodcastThe value of employee exit interviews for agencies
All agencies experience turnover, so it makes sense to have a process for when employees leave. The exit interview is an important part of that sequence.
In this episode, Chip and Gini discuss best practices for conducting effective exit interviews, including who should run them and what they should include.
The co-hosts also offer advice on the importance of ongoing employee communication to avoid surprises in the exit interviews that could have been avoided.
Key takeaways
Gini Dietrich: “Most people leave managers, they don’t leave companies.”

Does your agency regularly survey your clients to see how happy they are with the services that they are receiving and how likely they are to recommend you to someone else?
Is it even worth doing these surveys? That’s the question that Chip and Gini explore in this week’s episode.
Spoiler alert: they’re not big fans of formal surveys, so they offer some alternative approaches. For those who still insist on sending questions to clients, they do have some practical advice on how to make the approach more effective.

2023-06-2218 minAgency Leadership PodcastBe more collaborative and less transactional with your agency’s clients
Too many agencies focus on reporting the amount of time and effort that they put in on behalf of clients rather than talking about the strategy and the results it produces.
When agencies tell a client how many hours were spent on work that is not billed by the hour, it serves little or no purpose. If you talk about how many reporters you pitched rather than the number of stories you generated, you are missing the point.

The PlaylistEpisode 19: A Mental Health PlaylistThis week, Josh and Dietrich attempt something quite different: a playlist about understanding and coping with mental health issues. It's a huge challenge for the pair, who approach it from different angles. Josh looks at work that has portrayed struggles with depression and anxiety, from the astonishing Melancholia to the grim, heartfelt, and moving HBO series The Leftovers. Dietrich discusses media that has helped him better understand the struggle faced by those coping with mental illness, including a webcomic that handles science fiction and trans rights equally deftly, and a video game that uses familiar mechanics to discuss the ch...

Dietrich scandalizes pretty much anyone who knows sports with his claim of one of the best sports films. Josh looks at one of the few television series that can match The Queen's Gambit for style and setting. The pair discuss a controversial science fiction classic, a film that also tackles the intersection of genius and mental health, and Dietrich wraps up with some suggestions should this show have inspired you to pic...
