The best way to mitigate against it is to have a compelling motivating inspiring strategy and for people to have jobs that are really motivating and that they enjoy doing every day, right?

As well as again having those you know those visible

touch points those community forums opportunities for people to actually show up

and demonstrate the impact and the value that they're delivering.

I think that's the number one thing, right?

Is be the compelling job opportunity that everybody is looking for.

Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the COO Alliance and brought to you by its founder Cameron Herald. In the second in

command podcast we talked to top coos who share the insights, strategies and

tactics that made them the chief behind the chief.

And now here's your host, Cameron Herald.

All right, so today's episode, we've got Sam Buffin, who is the

CEO and president for a great company called Populow. Sam gets into a lot of

great areas around strategy, around a number of

M&A interactions or integrations that she helped lead. Integrations related to the

people, customer side, and a lot of the process side. Talks about her time back at Yahoo,

when there was only 300 employees at Yahoo,

and she was on the engineering team there.

Her time at Intuit around Systems and Benchmarking,

also working with a company that now has offices in four different countries,

and then the people integration side of the business, and also her time coming into the company

as a president and CEO and how she did that when there were already 700 people in place.

You're going to love the episode.
