People leave firms for one main reason: bad bosses.

“As leaders, we think that when people leave our team or organization, it has little to do with us. In reality we are often the reason.”

For positive relationships, avoid these mistakes. 

• “People quit leaders who devalue them” – Show people you respect and appreciate them.
• “People quit leaders who are untrustworthy” – People don’t trust leaders who speak one way and act another
• “People quit leaders who are incompetent” – Nobody wants to work for a boss who doesn’t know what he is doing
• “People quit leaders who are insecure” – People flee from fearful, suspicious, distrustful and jealous leaders
