How to Attract A-Players as Employees
Every quarter I open the books. My team sees the revenue, the profit, all of it. Most founders assume their people would head for the door if they saw the full picture, and mine treat those numbers like they belong to them.
None of what keeps great people costs you a dollar. It comes down to four things: how you bring someone in, how much you let them own, how clearly they see where the business is headed, and how you treat them on the way out. I’m giving you all four, including the ownership shift that stopped me from doing my executive assistant’s job with extra steps, how quarterly rocks get set from the bottom up, and the two-minute Monday check-in that catches burnout before it becomes a resignation.
Your culture is shaped by how people leave. My former marketing director left to focus on her family and came back years later as a coach inside Calibrae. Your team is watching how you handle those moments. The team you’ll have in three years is being shaped by how you lead the one person in front of you now.
