In this episode of Amazing Authorities, Mitch Carson sits down with Todd Hagopian, turnaround expert and author, to unpack how leaders can reverse stagnation before it turns into a full-blown crisis. Todd explains why early intervention creates smoother growth, higher morale, and stronger profitability — without the chaos of emergency restructuring.
Todd breaks down his proven frameworks for maximizing workforce productivity, including treating payroll as a strategic asset rather than a cost to slash. He shares how leaders can reorganize teams intelligently, apply the 80/20 squared principle, and align every department around the activities that make the most money every minute of the day.
The conversation also dives into AI as a productivity multiplier, decision discipline, and the cultural shifts required to sustain growth. Todd reveals how eliminating wasted meetings, sharpening priorities, and empowering teams to question off-focus work can dramatically increase output without burnout.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why catching stagnation early leads to faster, less painful growth than crisis turnarounds
• How to treat payroll as a productivity asset instead of a cost-cutting target
• What the 80/20 squared framework is and how it doubles down on top customers and products
• How focusing on the top 4% of high-value work can increase productivity by up to 600%
• Why AI won’t replace jobs — but will dramatically outperform those who don’t learn to use it
• How to reorganize teams without constant layoffs by using productivity multipliers
• Why cutting low-value meetings improves morale more than reducing work hours
• How to build a culture where teams challenge distractions and stay aligned on profit-driving priorities
