About the Author

The authors of this book were introduced to each other by a mutual friend who insisted that they had a great deal in com- mon, both personally and professionally. She was right on both counts. (Thank you, Susan!)
Their professional partnership produced their first book, Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay, and a host of workshops and products to support managers in their ef- forts to engage and retain their talent. Their continued work together led to many discussions and debates and eventually gave way to the book that is now in your hands.

In their immensely practical book, Kaye and Jordan-Evans show how."
--Marcus Buckingham, coauthor of First, Break All the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths
