Stop Losing Your Best People

I've spent 25 years managing teams in high-pressure operations, and I've learned this truth the hard way: most business owners set their people up to fail without even realizing it.  Below, I break down the most common leadership mistakes that cost you your best people—and what you need to do differently.

Resources for Business Owners

"A leader must find a way to become more effective and drive high performance within his or her team in order to win. Whether in SEAL training, in combat on distant battlefields, in business or in life; there are no bad teams, only bad leaders."

— Jocko Willink & Leif Babin, Extreme Ownership

If you keep losing good employees or watching managers fail, the problem isn't them. It's leadership.

Top 3 Reasons Why Employers Terminate Good Employees

Here's the truth most business owners don't want to hear: When you lose good employees, nine times out of ten, it's not on them. It's on you.

I've spent 25 years managing people in some of the most demanding environments you can imagine. And I've seen this cycle over and over again. You hire someone who seems great, then six months later you're letting them go—and you're blaming them.

But most of the time? You set them up to fail.

Here are the top 3 ways:

  1. You Never Made the Expectations Clear
  2. You Didn't Train Them Right
  3. You Let Other People Get Away With Everything

Top 3 Reasons Why Employers Terminate Good Managers

I've watched this happen a thousand times: You promote your best employee to manager. They work hard, they care, they want to succeed. Then six months later, you're letting them go.

And you're probably thinking, "They just couldn't handle it. They weren't leadership material."

But here's the truth: When good managers fail, it's usually because you never set them up to succeed in the first place.

Being a great employee and being a great manager are two completely different skill sets. And if you promote someone without teaching them how to lead, you're setting them up to fail.

Here are the top 3 mistakes:

  1. You Promoted Them Without Training Them
  2. You Didn't Give Them Real Authority
  3. You Rushed the Promotion
