Employee Selection, Engagement, and Retention

_

Three Foundational Conversations

Most leaders believe they’ve solved hiring.

Most haven’t.

Mason frequently discusses:

• Why hiring systems are structurally flawed

• Where hidden profit leaks live inside workforce decisions

• Why disengagement persists in high-performing companies

• How role alignment determines long-term success

• What leaders miss when evaluating performance

These are not motivational conversations.
They are operational.

Built Wright: What It Takes to Build Something That Lasts

From the #1 Amazon bestselling book co-authored with Hall of Fame coach Bryant Wright.

A program with:

• 13 state championships

• 8 consecutive titles

• A 17-year run without finishing below second

The system was visible.
The standards were enforced.
The culture outlived the leader.

Conversation topics include:

• Why success weakens standards if not protected

• The role of peer accountability in sustained performance

• Building systems that survive leadership transition

• Scaling without cultural drift

Not a sports metaphor. A structural leadership model.

Inclusive Leadership

Drawn from real-world leadership experience during crisis conditions and detailed in Inclusive Leadership: Unleashing the Power of People.

As a young officer in the Missouri Army National Guard during the Great Flood of 1993, Mason led soldiers while coordinating with civilian authorities under intense public scrutiny.

When decisions carried real consequences, one principle became clear:

Better decisions emerge from broader perspective and shared responsibility.

Mason frequently explores:

• Why exclusion weakens decision quality

• How pressure exposes leadership blind spots

• The difference between authority and earned trust

• How inclusion strengthens execution, not just morale

• Leading when the stakes are visible and immediate

This is not theory.
It is leadership when results matter.
