myAIPMLeaders must adapt to prevent more quitting (podcast)
McKinsey Quarterly
From the great attrition to the great adaption. To keep talent, managers must actively change their leadership styles, focusing less on controls and more on culture and connections. Roberta Fusaro talks to Aaron De Smet and Bill Schaninger about employees feeling valued and acknowledged by their manager. Employees want autonomy and flexibility. Leader's must adapt their behaviours and learn to trust more, their employees are equal humans, not subordinates that have to be controlled. Leaders have faired better than most, be aware that as a leader you have the agency, autonomy, and financial resources to be less burnt out than most of the people in your organisation. We have a generation of leaders who are largely men, men who have been raised by boomers, and men who have someone there to look after their children, and they’ve been allowed to fixate on work, and disproportionately, their identity is tied up at work.
