In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Hanna Hasl-Kelchner, attorney, business consultant, and author of Seeking Fairness at Work: Cracking the New Code of Greater Employee Engagement, Retention, and Satisfaction. Together, they explore “The Rainmaker’s Playbook for Managing the Team,” revealing how leadership, empathy, and trust directly impact performance and retention. Hanna explains that leading a team is not a transactional act—it’s a relationship built on an “implied social contract” of good faith and fair dealing. She shares how rainmakers can foster stronger loyalty and productivity by actively listening, showing gratitude, and treating team members as valued contributors rather than interchangeable resources.
Hanna also discusses practical ways to address performance issues with empathy and clarity, emphasizing joint problem-solving over blame. She encourages leaders to take “empathy reality checks,” solicit honest feedback, and model humility—reminding listeners that trust must be earned, not demanded. The conversation concludes with three action steps: listen to your team, invest in communication and coaching skills, and demonstrate genuine appreciation. These principles, she argues, transform high-pressure work environments into loyal, high-performing teams.
