IDEAS
The Key To Retaining Top Talent

One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when it comes to retaining talent is being reactive rather than proactive.

Being reactive means waiting until your best employee, whose role is a key point of failure for your business, wants to leave before understanding what they need to commit to your business long-term.

Being proactive means having that honest conversation from day one.

This is the key to retaining top talent.

The Reading List For Entrepreneurs

Keith Rabois is a world-class entrepreneur and venture capitalist known for his leadership roles at PayPal, LinkedIn, and Square.

Naturally, if a world-class operator like him has a list of books they recommend to entrepreneurs, I’ll make it required reading for myself.

Here are my top three picks from his list:

1. Return to the Little Kingdom: Steve Jobs and the Creation of Apple by Michael Moritz

2. Zero To One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel

3. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

Let me know what your favourite books are from the list in the feedback form at the bottom of this email.

Happy reading this summer.
