Why No One Wants to Work for You: Change the way you think about finding and keeping the best people.
Finding and keeping the best people is a problem that has
plagued business owners, executives and managers for at
least a century. When looking to solve the problem, they
typically look outward at the state of the economy or place
blame with candidates and employees.
“People just don’t want to work anymore.”
Sound familiar?
The truth is, your troubles are not about lazy candidates or a
broken workforce. They are about you and how you attract,
engage and lead your team. Why No One Wants to Work
for You, cuts through the myths around modern hiring and
breaks down the principles that make or break your people
strategy.
Through experience, real-world examples, and a nononsense
style, this book will show
The fundamental reasons why people join, stay or leave
a company
How leadership – not HR – defines your company’s
culture
The truth about why your employees care less about
the business than you do
Why mentorship, and trainability and speed make or
break success for everyone
If you are tired of “bad hires” and high turnover, it’s time to
turn the mirror on yourself. Whether you are a small business
owner, executive, or manager, this book will challenge you to
rethink everything about building a team.
Because the truth is, people do want to work – maybe just
not for you.
