Organizational Leadership Consulting

Let’s be real here. People don’t quit jobs. They quit bosses and companies. Employers try to retain their employees through ridiculous rules, and expectations; while employees experience a lack of empathy, burnout, abuse, and basic humanity. Yet, we all wonder why people are quitting their jobs in doves.

When employers think employees are replaceable, they make rash decisions, such as firing individuals, putting them on professional improvement plans (PIPS), or being demoted while requiring company loyalty from employees. This is why people quit their bosses, not jobs. Employees are experiencing stress, trauma, anxiety, sleepless nights, and unexplained physical ailments and due to this, they are unable to complete the responsibilities of their jobs.

Whether you are a startup or a Fortune 500 company, investing in your employees and providing them with both tangible and intangible benefits are necessary if you want to keep your top talent and decrease company turnover. It is excruciating for companies to hear that people don’t quit their jobs, they quit their supervisors.

If you’re a company that is puzzled or questioning why there is an increase in turnover, it could be a number of things but there is a guarantee that lack of leadership support is rated as one of the top reasons. One of the hardest things for a company to do is admit that there needs to be change. Change is hard, change means shedding the previous ways, and acknowledging that it’s no longer working; change will require adaptability and accountability.
