Years ago, David Dell, research director of The Conference Board's Capabilities Management and Human Resources Strategies area, wrote:
”The challenge to employers is to not only make potential employees aware of the company as a good place to work and bring the best applicants successfully through the recruitment and hiring process, but also to retain them and ensure their understanding of the company's goals and commitment to them."
For me, this is a critical place where leadership can play a significant part. The recruitment and the retention of employees revolves first and foremost around who people work with and who they report to over time. As the Gaullup organization has pointed out numerous times, people join companies and quit their team, their boss, or both.
Our challenge when we look at the road ahead during a post pandemic time period is to retain our best people, help our struggling people get better, and recruit the best new people. To do that we need people in leadership positions who can create highly effective teams and excellent collaboration between teams. We also need these same leaders to help employees feel fulfilled in the work they are doing, make regular progress on their goals, and know that their job matters. In short, employees want a leader who respectfully manages them as people, not merely workers.
If you wanting this to happen more often within your organization, then now is the time to sign people up to participate in the 2021 From Vision to Action Leadership Training.

Better leaders create better teamwork and collaboration. They also create better work places. And that is going to make a major difference during the next 3-5 years.
I look forward to hearing from you.
