The closing sentence of Dr. Bradberry’s second paragraph is so very true:

It’s pretty incredible how often you hear managers complaining about their best employees leaving, and they really do have something to complain about–few things are as costly and disruptive as good people walking out the door.

Managers tend to blame their turnover problems on everything under the sun, while ignoring the crux of the matter: people don’t leave jobs; they leave managers.

Good advice on how to retain, grow and encourage employees so that they don’t leave.
