The Human Equation: Building Profits by Putting People First by Jeffrey Pfeffer

Why We Like This Book:

A Pfeffer classic. He lays out the value of being a manager who focuses on getting the most from your team. If all you learn from this book is that layoffs are ineffective, it’s earned its value. (Though don’t assume you won’t ever see one again). He talks about specific things companies can do in hiring and development that relate directly to Manager Tools principles.

Employee Retention

April 24th, 2006

This podcast is the first in a series of recurring casts - it could easily amount to ten over the next couple of years - about employee retention. The best managers we know do a great job of retention. As a matter of fact, because it goes to the future potential of the organization, retention is one of Mark’s favorite delineators of management talent. Strategy gets done more effectively in places where retention is good.

In this cast, we’re going to talk about bare bones basics. This is the stuff that any manager can do… really, that any manager wanting to think of themselves as a professional MUST do. If you’re not taking these simple steps, you need to start, so you can build a base to some of the more powerful techniques we’ll share in future casts.
