You need to wake up and discover how to keep the best employees. Your best employee is about to enter your office and give you notice that they are leaving your company for good. It will be polite and disguised as an opportunity to grow or betterment of the family. You will suppress the surprise and hide your disappointment. You will feel nausea and your head will pound. You are in shock. You will eventually progress through all five stages of grief. You will experience denial, anger, bargaining and eventually acceptance.
Learning how to make better decisions is a process. Recall major decisions such as buying a home, choosing a college, or starting a business.

Loving ourselves is critical to long-term, sustained happiness. We must have a foundation in order to be the best for those we love and weather the inevitable storms of life. Without self-worth, we become vulnerable to changes in life. Palm trees build a powerful core and root system to weather hurricanes and erosion caused by the sea. We must do the same to make our best self. Here is how you can learn to love yourself.
Narcissists will always believe they occupy the most important role in any company. They are corrupted by their own image of importance. This corruption clouds reality by the misappropriation of priority. Some might think the CEO is most important. They are the savior or the visionary. Others might say sales since they bring business to the table. And a few (with a servant mentality) might say the front-line employee because they make things happen. In reality, it is none of these positions that truly need focus in today’s super-heated job market. If retention is important for your business, read on!

Someone reading this is thinking it’s too late. I missed my window. I blew it. I am too old. I should have done it long ago. Stop that thinking. It’s never too late to do something great. I strongly believe life is a series of opportunities that often go unnoticed or worse unacted upon when the little nudge tickles our brain. We are going to have a few “moon shots” in life and sadly most do not take the shot. The greatest tragedy in life is regret. The year is 1954 and a 52-year-old milkshake salesman is fighting to get a bulky machine from the trunk of his car. As sweat soaks the shirt under his suit coat, he carries the machine toward the door of yet another restaurant for his practiced pitch to make a sale. He hates the job. He hates the repeated rejection. It is a numbers game.

Too many CEOs struggle with making decisions for the organizations they lead. How can decision-making quality improve? What makes someone a better decision maker? How do unmade decisions impact our emotional health? There is a way to improve decision-making and become happier as a CEO.
In today’s super-heated job market, companies are stockpiling talent ahead of needs. Sound crazy? Demand is growing while talent in certain sectors is difficult to find. Some companies are getting ahead of the curve by making offers to secure people now in the hopes of having them for the future. The idea may seem ridiculous, however when we consider the cost of not having key positions filled or paying search agencies large sums, it starts to make complete sense.
PIPs are the equivalent of dysfunctional annual performance reviews. They are another antiquated tool for mishandling humans on our teams. Before you get too defensive, please stay with me. This is not hyperbole to get your attention. I will provide you with a logical case for rethinking this tool’s efficacy. Whether you agree with me or not, you will enjoy the discussion. Let this information soak a while. We just might identify a blind spot.
A CEO realizes a difficult challenge needs external knowledge and experience. The first idea is to hire a consultant that specializes in the area of concern. It is much cheaper than recruiting a specialist to the team full time. The consultant can be used to solve the problem, give direction, and then disappear. Problem solved; or is it? Who is going to help with implementation hurdles as they occur? What if the implementation uncovers issues not surfaced in the beginning? What happens if the problem changes and the plans need to be adjusted? Yikes, we need to call them back.
His information is both provocative and engaging. His speeches can be an emotional roller-coaster with the audience laughing one minute and holding back tears the next. Energy and passion are the two most common words used to describe John Grubbs as a speaker and trainer.
