The Nine Principles of Business War
How to Maximize and Retain Top Talent
Are you aware that up to 38% of your managers, supervisors, and team leaders might be on the verge of leaving? Monster, a leading online job search platform, reported a 44% increase in new resume postings in early 2004, with "confidential" postings rising by 13%. Do you know who those individuals are?
The Problem
Exit interviews from JWT Specialized Communication reveal that poor manager-employee relationships and weak communication are top reasons for voluntary departures. Misalignment between employees, supervisors, and the organization can lead to increased costs, reduced shareholder value, and higher turnover rates.
CEOs express concerns such as:
- Losing valuable team members
- Lacking time for mentorship
- Key talent experiencing burnout
- Preparing top talent for an uncertain future
- The impact of ensuring employees' personal success
Imagine what your company could achieve if your key talent was aware of their unique strengths, core values, and lifetime goals. Are these aligned with your organization?
Consequences of Inaction
James McNerney's leadership at 3M highlights the importance of addressing employee personal growth. Failure to do so may lead to:

- Competitors recruiting your talent
- Loss of initial excitement in employees
- Deterioration of market reputation
- Decrease in shareholder value
So, how can you prevent unwanted turnover and keep your key talent engaged?
