"We can't afford to give raises," the division leader said.

"But we're hiring aggressively."

I was reviewing their Q3 budget.

"What's the average raise request you've denied?" I asked.

"About 15-20%."

"And what are you paying new hires?"

"Market rate. Usually 30% more than internal folks."

"So you won't pay someone 15% more to stay,
but you'll pay someone else 30% more to start?"

He shifted. "That's different."

"What about Jennifer?" I asked.
"She asked for 18K more. 
You said no. She left. 
You just hired her replacement."

"Yeah. Took three months to fill."

"What did you pay the replacement?"

"85K."

"Jennifer was making 62K. Asked for 80K."

"Right."

"So you saved 18K by saying no,
then spent 23K more to get someone new.
Plus signing bonus?"

"10K."

"What about lost productivity while they ramp up?"

"Maybe six months to get to Jennifer's level."

"That's another 30K in lost output.
Plus recruiting costs?"

He opened a spreadsheet.
"Recruiter was 17K. Training about 15K."

I wrote on his whiteboard:
- Salary increase: 33K
- Signing bonus: 10K  
- Lost productivity: 30K
- Recruiter fee: 17K
- Training costs: 15K
Total: 105K

"You spent 105K to avoid paying 18K."

He stared at the board.

"How many Jennifers did you lose this year?"

"Twelve."

"So you burned 1.2 million
to save maybe 200K in raises."

A few months later, he called.

"I just approved every raise request in the queue."

"All of them?"

"Cost me 340K.
Would have cost me 2 million in replacements."

"How'd your team react?"

"Shocked. Then productive.
We're hitting numbers we haven't seen in years."

Here's the truth about retention economics:

Companies will spend a dollar to save a dime.
Then spend ten dollars to fix what broke.

We treat current employees like costs
and new employees like investments.

But retention isn't an expense.
It's the highest ROI investment you'll ever make.

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the VP asked me.

I was reviewing their annual performance data.

"Show me," I said.

She pulled up the ratings.
Diana: 2.8 out of 5.
Below average on "collaboration."
Low marks for "team player."

"What's her actual performance?" I asked.

"Exceeded every target.
Landed our biggest client.
Trained three new hires."

"So why the low scores?"

"Her peer reviews are dragging her down."

I scanned the comments.
"Too direct."
"Challenges ideas too much."
"Not supportive enough."

"Let me talk to Diana," I said.

"I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me.
"Said our pricing model was broken.
Got dinged for 'negativity.'"

"What happened with the pricing?"

"They finally fixed it six months later.
After we lost two major accounts."

"What else?"

"I questioned why we needed 
eleven approvals for a simple contract change.
Manager said I wasn't being collaborative."

"Are you still giving feedback?"

"No. I learned my lesson.
Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great.
My reviews are improving."

"But nothing's actually improving?"

"We're making the same mistakes.
Just with better vibes." She chuckled.

I went back to the VP.

"Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said.
"It measures compliance."

"That's not true."

"When was the last time someone
got promoted for challenging bad ideas?"

Silence.

"When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?"

More silence.

"You've trained your best people to stay quiet.
And your mediocre people to stay nice."

A few months later, they redesigned the system.

Added a category: "Constructive Challenge."
Points for identifying problems early.
Rewards for preventing costly mistakes.

Diana got promoted.

"What changed?" I asked the VP.

"We stopped confusing agreement with alignment.
Stopped mistaking silence for harmony."

"And?"

"Turns out our 'difficult' people
were our most valuable.
They actually cared enough to speak up."

Here's the truth about performance reviews:

Most companies don't reward performance.
They reward performance theater.

The person who says the meeting was great
beats the person who says it wasted an hour.

The person who agrees with bad ideas
beats the person who prevents disasters.

You think you're measuring contribution.
You're measuring conformity.

And your best people?
They've already figured out the game.

They're just deciding whether to play it
or find somewhere that values truth over comfort.

"We're losing too many good people," the CEO said.

We were at a leadership summit cocktail hour.
He'd approached me after my panel on retention.

"What do your exit interviews tell you?" I asked.

"HR does those. It's always the same."
He swirled his drink. "Better opportunities. Work-life balance."

"What do you do with that information?"

"HR makes recommendations. Sometimes we adjust."

"After they're gone?"

"Well, yes. That's when we know why they left."

"Who's at risk right now?" I asked.

"My CFO says Marcus in operations. 
Sarah in marketing. A few others.
All high performers."

"Have you talked to them?"

"That's HR's job."

"I'm asking if YOU talked to them?"

He looked puzzled. "About what?"

"About why they might leave."

"If they're unhappy, they'll tell us."

"Would they tell you?"

"My door's always open."

"When's the last time someone walked through it?"

He thought for a moment. "Fair point."

"Here's an idea," I said. 
"Have coffee with Marcus.
Assure him he's safe.
Then ask three questions:
What makes you stay with us?
What might make you leave?
What would you change if you could?"

"That's HR territory."

"No. That's leadership territory."

He looked skeptical. "And if he's honest?"

"Then you'll know what to fix
before HR schedules his exit interview."

A week later, he called me.

"I had coffee with Marcus," he said.

"And?"

"Twenty minutes. Changed everything.
He's been passed over twice for promotion.
Trained both people who got the jobs.
He doesn't want a promotion tomorrow.
He wants to know it's possible."

"What did you do?"

"We created a development path 
on a coffee ring stained napkin.
I laid out the next 18 months for him.
His whole demeanor changed."

"That's great! Now do the others."

"Already scheduled."

I saw him at another event a few months later.

"How's the retention?" I asked.

"Remember those flight risks?
Zero resignations.
Marcus is now managing a team.
Sarah restructured her whole department.
Turns out they didn't want to leave.
They wanted to be heard."

"And your exit interviews?"

"Down 60%. My head of HR is thrilled.
Wants to know what changed."

"You did," I said. "You stopped waiting
for HR and the goodbye to ask why."

He laughed. "She's implementing 
'stay interviews' for the company now."

"Good idea," I said. 
"Your leaders should ask the questions. Not HR."

He shook my hand.
"I'd like you to help us get it off the ground."

Here's the truth about retention:

Exit interviews are autopsies.
Stay interviews are preventive care.

Your employees know what will make them stay.
But they need to believe you actually want to know.

So the most powerful stay interview
is from the leader who actually has the power
to change what needs changing.

And if it isn't the leader asking,
it's just another survey in a drawer.

Stop spinning your wheels and start seeing real results from your AI investments. 

They say "AI is transforming everything. AI will 10X your productivity. AI is the future."

But 92% of companies trying to use AI are failing to see meaningful returns according to data from Nvidia.

Let me say that differently: for every dollar businesses are spending on AI tools, software, and consultants, most are getting pennies back in actual business value.

But the 8% who ARE winning with AI aren't doing it because they're smarter or have bigger budgets. They're following a different playbook, one that actually works for businesses like yours.

I'm going to break down the four things successful companies do differently, stripped of all the technical jargon and corporate-speak.
