I managed to have a great chat the other day with a good work friend the other day, interestingly enough we spoke about why people leave a business.

Retention is the challenge companies face, where there are plenty of theories floating and excuses why people leave. I consider it to be three things why people stay these are the people, the pay and the position but are these the same or is there one specific reason why a person a would leave a good position?

Interestingly a great point was raised, employees generally fire bosses. His point being that ultimately all leaders are accountable to and by their employees, thus fairness, integrity, openness and recognition play huge role with why anyone would respect and want to continue working with a leader.

Thought provoking nevertheless.
