In episode 57, Coffey talks with Michael J. Mirarchi about the importance of legal training for leaders to prevent employment litigations.

They discuss the difference between defending against employment litigation and avoiding employment litigation; the importance of teaching leaders what they should focus on instead of what they should avoid; what are the key components of “good faith efforts” of legal compliance; how using scripts for sensitive employment relations issues helps keeping leaders out of trouble; the difference between empathy and sympathy; the best way to handle employment terminations; how to communicate and provide feedback to candidates who aren’t hired; how to handle insubordination in the workplace; and why employment at will should never be used in termination conversations.
