The #1 Reason Your Top People Keep Leaving (How to Fix It)

Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Around here we say you're either a thoroughbred or a donkey. Thoroughbreds are high performers. They show up, go the extra mile, and carry more than their weight. You never have to beg them to do their job, they just run. And donkeys are, well, the opposite.

They drag their feet. They need constant supervision. They don't run, they stall. If you accidentally let a donkey in the door and let them hang around for too long, somebody who can't or won't pull their load, that is, guess what happens? Your best people won't deal with it, they'll leave.

And you'll be left scratching your head wondering what happened, thinking maybe it's about money or perks or the job market, but it's not. It's about culture, it's about clarity. And it's about leadership. Today, Entree Leadership's head coach John Falcons is going to walk you through exactly why your best people are leaving and what to do about it. Because if you want to build a business full of thoroughbreds, you better learn how to stop tolerating donkeys.
