Losing top talents is a big problem for organisations. It affects team morale, team effectiveness, and succession planning. Leaders and people managers need to up their game and realise that the needs of the workplace are changing. We need to develop ourselves and our teams, become a coach (rather than being a command-and-control boss), and bring our team together more so than before.

Gallup’ studies showed that people managers account for 70% variance in employee engagement and followers need trust, compassion, hope and stability from their leaders.
