Why Every Leader Needs a Framework for Success

Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes

Every leader and every organization should have a plan for success.

Every position of leadership is challenging because you are always on your toes dealing with urgent and unexpected situations.

While it’s impossible to prepare for everything, having a framework in place for the most essential areas that you can control is crucial.

Drawing from over 30 years of experience in leadership development, I've honed in on the common tendencies and challenges faced by leaders across diverse organizations.

Through this journey, I've identified four key areas that, when mastered by leaders and organizations, result in significant enhancements in employee satisfaction, reduced stress, and lower turnover rates.

These four areas are Attraction, Activation, Retention, and Release. 

Our Quit Losing Talent Framework focuses on mastering these 4 areas by application of the 20 associated tactics and an abundance of tools.

Let’s take a look at why each of these is so important:

Attraction

Attracting employees to your organization who not only possess the required qualifications but also resonate with your organizational values significantly boosts the likelihood of long-term retention, saving you from potential challenges down the road. Next month, I'll actually be hosting a FREE virtual workshop to delve deep into the QLT Attraction tactics and share valuable tools with attendees. You can learn more and sign up here:

Activation

Once you've attracted and hired the talent you desire, investing time in effectively launching them is invaluable. By activating their potential, you pave the way for alleviating future challenges. It's a critical phase to ensure they are enthused about their role, understand their responsibilities, and are prepared for the journey ahead.

Retention

While leaders are naturally drawn to tactics within the Retention strategy, it's important to note that the four strategies within the QLT Framework are similar to the wheels of a car. The stronger all four, the smoother the entire team will function. With numerous tactics aimed at retaining employees, our framework is designed to create an environment where employees want to stay, thus preempting the need for exit conversations altogether. 

Release

While employee retention is the ultimate goal, turnover is inevitable. People will depart for personal reasons, often unrelated to your leadership. Through our release tactics and tools, you can equip former employees to sing your praises in the market, becoming advocates and recruiters on your behalf. 

Organizations embracing our Quit Losing Talent Framework have witnessed remarkable strides in their leadership and extraordinary reductions in turnover rates.
