Unfulfilling executive career? Transform it before it traps you.

When a family crisis took me out of school at 14 to get a full-time job, it sparked a journey across many industries, roles, and nations.
 
Office work, construction, and self-employment in Australia. Study in the UK. Ministry in Africa. Sales and executive roles in the US. And yet others.

I led the transformation of Arby’s to become one of the world’s fastest-growing restaurant chains. Rated in the Top 10 of over 3,000 franchise systems in the US, with a new location opening every 39 hours. 

When a takeover harmed the culture, I resigned to find a meaningful new path. But then my income was nearly tripled and I stayed on. 

Two years later, I resigned again, to buy or create a business aligned with my values.
I sought strategic, executive-level career support. And couldn’t find it. 

In that gap, I finally recognized my calling. So in 1992, I became a pioneer in this field. 

In 2014, a failed project left us with inadequate capital, and I turned the business over to a consortium of colleagues and clients. They closed it in 2016. In the meantime, I had created and launched a more resilient model. 

Today, our stressed societies desperately need more leaders motivated and able to reform management structures that undervalue higher needs and promote lower ones. 

If you’re ready to reimagine what your career can be, and to align it with your best contributions, there has never been a better time to do so. 

Let’s explore what’s possible.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Leonard, and I appreciate you taking the time to read my About page.

Retaining top employees in today's workforce is a big challenge for any manufacturing leader.

The reality is that 4% of new employees won't return after lunch on their first day, and nearly 40% will leave within their first year. And in 2022, the average cost of employee turnover was a staggering $18,000.

Today's workforce operates under a different set of norms than previous generations. Understanding the DNA of today's workforce and applying strategies that resonate with them is the key to retaining top talent within your organization.

The situation is worsening because by 2025, over 75% of the workforce will be millennials. Additionally, all baby boomers are expected to retire by 2030.

As a millennial with over eight years of manufacturing experience, I've witnessed the turnover problem. I'd invest time in training a new team member, only to see them leave before the week ended, and the cycle continued with the next hire.

My mission is to help manufacturing leaders in retaining their top talent in the modern workforce.

Here is the unique insight I’ve discovered to increase retention %

Companies that aim to retain top talent in the modern workforce must establish a clear and articulated strategy on 5 key areas:

1. Emotional Connection
2. Instant Gratification
3. Growth and Progress
4. Subjectivity and biases 
5. Making work fun 

Follow my posts to hear more insights and strategies on how to retain top talent in the modern workforce.

Thanks - Leonard
