Companies can spend between $22,000 and $222,000 or more to replace each employee that quits. About 2.5 million workers each month leave their jobs voluntarily in the USA alone and close to 50% of them give the same reason for leaving: Their manager.
The only way to stop the bleeding is to help managers and leaders build their leadership skills and create a culture where their positive enthusiasm becomes contagious touching every employee and making it unthinkable for anyone to want to leave.
How "contagious" are you as a leader? Are you infecting your employees with positive or negative qualities? If you want to be an effective leader who inspires excellence, then you need to know how to make your leadership go viral.
