This is a 32min special episode from Masters of Scale Podcast with Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, that I think you might find it interesting. It’s a collection of stories from previous episodes that Reid summarised them into “Five secrets to keep your best employees“. In this episode;
- Angela Ahrendts the former senior vice president of retail at Apple Inc is discussing about the secret #1.
- Secret #2 is covered by Dara Khosrowshahi the CEO of Uber and Adam Grant, a prominent author of the book “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know”.
- Secret #3: Throw a party, this one is my style. While working with my former employer we also used to set crazy big targets with my team, make them happen and then we throw a party. This used to happen either end of week, month or end of season.
- Secrete #4: Invest in your team’s wellness – in a real way.
- The last secret #5 Invest today in tomorrow’s team leaders is also my style and my favourite. It is covered by Barack Obama, the first African American US president. You will hear how he and his campaign manager strategized around their newest volunteers in the historic 2008 campaign. The strategy is similar to the one we used with my team to improve factory operational efficiency during my tenure as a chairman of management committee.
I hope you will enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did.
