There is a great post on AVC where Fred explains how to look at loyalists and mercenaries. It turns out that what you do as a leader can completely change how your colleagues see their daily job. It’s true. It’s not easy and that’s probably one of the biggest challenge building a company.
It’s also a reminder of how few companies, and leaders, think about it regularly. I was at a dinner last night. A few friends of mine where discussing leaving their jobs for better paid positions. The way they were doing it made me clear how that companies already failed with them.
Talk soon!
