EP 021 Tim Cosby: Space for Greatness To Blossom – Retain Top Talent

One of the biggest challenges for companies today is finding and keeping outstanding talent. Managers are 70 percent responsible for employee engagement, and those managers need support. The definition of the word leadership has changed over the years, and the approach is a transition to a “coach” culture.

Tim Cosby, President/CEO of Real Retention, runs a training and consulting firm that works with leaders to help them keep their best people and transform corporate culture in a way that results in higher retention, productivity, profitability and employee satisfaction.

Throughout our conversation, we discussed how the culture of leadership has changed and examples of great leadership. We both share our lessons and stories of what works in the changing environment, especially acknowledging what needs to be changed with younger hires.

Highlights of our conversation include:

·        Why corporate culture is important in retaining top talent.

·        Leaders may want to change, but don’t know how.

·        The importance of being transparent, authentic, and vulnerable.

·        Overcoming resistance to the coaching culture.

·        The importance of focus.

·        How great leaders lead by engaging and empowering employees.
