Counterintuitive - this is part of a series of post I will be putting out regarding counterintuitive leadership
The moment you hire someone ask them to start looking for a job and from then on to regularly apply and interview for jobs.
This may sound crazy but it’s the best way to ensure the people that work with you remain independent in thought and create no bias towards the company that pays their wage.
If they have other options, they will remain autonomous.
It will also allow you and them to construct a much better career and professional development plan, in every interview they find out what they have or they are missing.
You will retain people for exactly the right amount of time this way...this of course applies to you too!
You should be always looking for jobs, even if you are totally happy where you are!
It will enable you to understand the market and operate far more comfortably. I can go on regarding benefits, but I leave them for the book I’m writing ;-)
