EP 292: Cultivating Hope, Keys to Employee Retention w/ John and Rich

Do you actually know why your best people leave?

Most leaders think they do. Most are wrong. Rich Hoffmann was asked recently if he thinks people leave companies. His answer stopped the conversation cold: they don’t leave companies. They lose hope. Hope in the career path, in the culture, in the relationship with the person they report to. And once that hope is gone, no raise brings it back.

In this episode, John St. Pierre and Rich Hoffmann dig into the real drivers of retention and what leaders consistently get wrong before someone walks out the door.

What you’ll walk away with: The top 3 predictors of turnover and why all three are fixable if you catch them early. Why the shift from manager to leader to mentor is the retention strategy most leaders skip. How TSP recognition changes the culture of an entire organization. Why getting in the field to observe your people doing the work is one of the most underused leadership tools available. And why helping a struggling long-tenured employee win beats cutting them every time.
