In this BookCast we talk again with Laura Sukorokoff, author of "It's  Not Them, It's You: Why Employees "Break-Up" With Their Managers and  What To Do About It."  

We discuss the story about Percy who hired on to a company and a manager  that had a plan to advance him up in the company and Percy was excited  and eager for more responsibility. It did not turn out that way for Percy for a number of reasons. Percy was primed for promotions that never came, actually through no fault of his own.   

Laura shares the Leadership Trait of "Promotion," what it means and why it is very important to some people. Laura Sukorokoff is a champion of  1:1 regular conversations between managers and employees and advocates that they become a required KPI (Key Performance Indicator) that a  manager is accountable for. Regular conversations that build relationship would have benefited both Percy and his manager. They are  crucial in getting things done and for a manager to know what's really happening on their team.   

Engaged employees that have good relationships with managers help  companies 1) Keep good performers, 2) raise productivity, 3) boost  customers service and loyalty, 4) increase revenue, and 5) build better  work cultures.
