Love 'Em or Lose 'Em #1 - Ask

I read a book called “Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em. Getting good people to stay”. Here I summarize each chapter that I read….read the books, it is really a great book J

1. Ask

Don’t estimate or guess what will make you employee stay and what will make them go away, but ask them. Ask them :

- What will keep you here?

- What might entice you away?

- What is most energizing about your work?

- Are we fully utilizing your talent?

- What is inhibiting your success?

- What can I do differently to best assist you?

If you know what is important for them, than you know what to do to make them stay.
