Are you doing enough to keep your talented managers?

摘要

One of the main reasons talented managers voluntarily leave their organizations is the lack of formal development training: If they can't "go higher," they go somewhere else. This would seem to place the blame on the organization for not providing a clear path, with guide ropes, up the slippery slopes from base camp to the summit of executive management. But consider management's point of view. Surveys suggest that today's high potential managers change jobs as frequently as they upgrade their smart-phones. In a Harvard Business Review article titled, "Why Top Young Managers Are in a Nonstop Job Hunt," Monica Hamori and her research team polled 1,200 managers in their 30s. They candidly revealed that they routinely sent out resumes, contacted search firms and interviewed for jobs.
