All good things. You seeing these means you are doing great. Ask for feedback in a less public forum, like one on one. That is a great time to deal with "gripes" and blame. One thing to remember as a leader, sometimes people just want to be heard. Keep it up. Oss

Jocko did a Live 30 minute interview with Steven Crowder and Steven cant say "echelon".
Steven Crowder sits down with Jocko Willink, former Navy Seal, Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and author stops by to talk about his book, Extreme Ownership, and what it means to effectively lead others with humility.

I love BJJ troopers. The huddle is a great idea. It helps define the team, shows everyone they are a part, sets the tone for the day. Keep them short and simple. Scott Mann would say it allows you to control the "Story".
If punishment doesn't work for those, then try rewarding the ones who fix it. Mention at your huddle or around the work place that you are going to start calling people in when you are short staffed. If you are the person that comes in to fill a shift you will get x reward. $20, I will buy you lunch, I will clean your car, car wash, Borrow my fun car for the weekend, Pay for a movie, pay for a BJJ class. Find something rewarding that is moderate cost or value. Show them who values their time.
If it is like you said, and the top isn't filling this leadership void, go ahead and fill it. Send ideas up. Maybe you mention, Hey I called Janet in to cover because we were missing someone. She really stepped up so I bought her dinner for her and her man. Is that the kind of thing we could make an unofficial or temporary agreement to do? Maybe for a month or 2? Yes, it hurts your pocket book maybe a few times. It shows that you care to the leadership and to the troops. They may be dismissive, but this feels like it might be a big enough step from the every day that people wouldn't tip the other way and start missing shifts or asking for a reward for what was doing their job. Make sure a stimulus like this has a sunset. That makes you appreciate it.
There are a lot of questions about how to play the long game. How do you eventually get rid of the bad employees? How do you get better ones? That will be somewhat of a dance with leadership. The easiest way is to create a situation where diverting from your plan takes work. I don't know what requirements you have of these employees. Where they come from, but get ahead of the supply chain. If they come from a degree program, see if you can speak at one of the schools. If there are not requirements, then go speak at a high school, or community college. Talk to your kids, or people in your bjj class. Find someone who you can offer access to a job. Tell them if they come work for free for 5 shifts, you will give them a letter of reference and get them an interview with the X person at your company. Then they have some real experience and your work has gotten to see them in their natural work environment. If I was anywhere near you I could probably help you tap into a stream that could send you a half dozen "kids" every 6 months. Yes I am about your age and they all feel like kids if they haven't done anything outside of college.
The next thing is consistency. Keep up the huddle. Let others participate so it isn't you forcing it. Give them "ownership". Train your replacement. The company is more likely to hire a manager if they are already on pay role. Is that you, or someone else. What steps lead to someone's job description fixing the problem? What credentials are needed for that position? I would love to pretend to be the free lancer that came in for a missed shift, but that probably won't happen. Maybe your BJJ professor could come and fill the position for a shift for the Absent worker. He wouldn't have to be too much to get the rest of the team talking about him.
And always, We are looking around for something to fill that hole, don't fight filling it with the current employee. It would take some change of heart on their part, but be looking for that. Aaaaand Tiiiiime.

You are good to go. You can drop a link to a Go fund me page on the boards. We are here to help people and as long as you are being honest, we are cool sharing our audience. You understand the difference between the organization and the Brand Ambassador. I am not a figure head, and neither are you. Let me know when I can buy a six pack, or if it is a GoFundMe perk/reward. Maybe team up with Bottle Breacher.

You are on the Path. Keep it up. Log what you do. It feels like nothing, but after a month of doing some core work you will find you can plank for a minute, or 2 or 5. Writing it down is a small additional task, but it is some valuable data once some time has passed. Keep it up. See you again soon. Brian or Daedalus.

Here is a great place to start. Copy someone else. Veterans United BreweryAnd find some others List of other Veteran BreweriesThen find some people who will tell you about your challenges. Generally, your community doesn't prioritize drinking. They don't favor fancy or expensive beer. Catering to Crossfit, GoRuck, Jocko, Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, etc aren't typically the people looking up specific gravity of their favorite beer. Also, Craft breweries tend to be geologically specific due to high shipping costs, ATF and local regulation/laws. Learn from someone near by. Often alcoholic beverage startups go years before employing anyone. If you want to have a great corporate culture think service industry. They are employee heavy and benefit from inclusive culture. Not here to crush dream, just to wake up those having them. Do your homework. Once you are willing to do it for free, you are almost ready to start. Then start before you are ready. Said by a no cost message board moderator. Brian
