2015 Success Tip One: Keep Your Top Performers

Find out what current

employees love about working

for your company


1. You’ve overloaded your best people with too many

responsibilities

1. You’re a micro-manager

2. You’re never around

3. You’re not in touch with how some of your hires or

promotions are driving your best people nuts

1. You’ve never given your people a sense of where they can

go in their careers

1. You run terrible meetings

2. You communicate that you care more about yourself than

the team

1. You’ve never given them the big picture vision of where

your group is heading or you are constantly changing the

big picture
