What a pleasure it was to speak to a genuine thought leader on the latest People Leaders podcast. Beverly Kaye is an internationally renowned expert in career development, employee engagement and employee retention. She’s written multiple books (the last one sold over 800,000 copies) and, just for good measure, she has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association of Talent Development, and a Thought Leader Award from the Association of Learning Providers.
As Beverly says herself, “people don’t leave organisations, they leave managers”, so we picked her brains on what you can do as a manager/leader to empower your employees to achieve the best possible results and stay onboard once they do.
Beverly prides herself on giving simple, actionable advice, and this conversation is a great example of that. Get ready to take some notes… there’s some absolute gold in this one!
