People often perceive people screwing them over in the wrong way especially when people become competitors. If you hold people back from becoming your competitor then you’re never going to be able to train other people to run your business so you can scale up. In this episode Rob explains 7 things you can do to retain people and reduce the number of people who will screw you over. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand the values of your team and give them things that will motivate them using your knowledge of their values. E.g. allowing them to leave early to pick up their kids. Find this out by simply asking them what is most important to them in their life. Meet their individual employment/partnership needs, everyone’s will be different. E.g. some people want to learn as they earn. Find out what each member of your teams is and help them to get that. Have a strong vision so people stay motivated and everyone has an end goal. It also gives people a reason to do what they’re doing, giving them a why. This can help to make your team feel like they are all well connected. PROGRESSION, RECOGNITION and AUTOMANY. What’s the next step for your team members? Give them the recognition publically and privately for their achievements. No one wants to be micromanaged so let them do what they need to do in their own way. Find great people, give them slightly too much to do then get out of their way to go do it. Have a good contract so all bases are covered and there is no lack of clarity. Train your team to the best as you can and if they do choose to leave and become competition, don’t stay angry at them even though it can be very annoying. Don’t burn your bridges with them as you could then have the credibility that you trained them. Help your team enjoy what they do. If people enjoy being around you, being part of your team and coming into work then they’re going to stay for longer. They do say that when the fun stops, stop. So don’t stop the fun.
