“They don’t leave the company. They leave the leader.”
Lisa Chinatti shared these honest words of wisdom on today’s episode of Team Builders. And she would know. Both she and Tom Toole have endured the pain of losing a large portion of their sales teams at one point in their careers, but they’ve each learned from that experience and emerged stronger as a result.
I’m excited to welcome both Lisa and Tom to Team Builders for an honest conversation about all things recruiting, retention, and finding that delicate balance that keeps people happy and on your team.
