Dan Negroni outlines three reasons employees stay: a clear mission that gives their work meaning, growth opportunities, and managers trained as coaches. People don't leave good managers. That matters more than the old idea that inertia kept people in jobs.
How do you get employees to stay at your company? In 1973, all you had to do was make sure there was enough inertia because that's what motivated people to stay at companies. Fast forward a bunch of years, you must feed employees with 3 things. Number 1 is a vision and mission for meaning and purpose that's going to create impact. Number 2 is growth and development. You must teach all those individual employees how you're going to make them better. And number 3 is you better train your managers to be leaders and coaches so they can be great bosses because people never leave a great boss. So what are you doing to make sure that those 3 things feed your culture?
