Companies are fighting to attract and retain top talent, in the wake of the Great Resignation. There are foundational elements and key skills that modern leaders need to build and develop that are crucial to retaining their team and encouraging them to perform at a high level. As top talent becomes choosier about where they work, the example needs to come from the top. 75% of workers who voluntarily left their jobs did so because of their bosses and not the position itself. This book covers the foundations of a strong team, core skills and action steps for the modern leader and how to apply these in a balanced way.
