Ask them hard questions such as “How are you going to help me be successful?” Customer needs that never get addressed Once you get to the interview stage, don’t choose a job. You’ll have plenty of opportunities within days. If your boss is bad then go on LinkedIn and start talking to recruiters.
Thanks to modern-day leadership trainers such as Simon Sinek, there is now a new class of leaders who understand how to treat humans well so that a business thrives. Life is too short to have the oxygen drained out of your lungs dealing with a bad boss. Nothing worse than a toxic a-hole boss to ruin your day.
High performers quit for these reasons Pain in the ass bosses I became a high-performer at that company … and then quit too. Anyone who tried to make change got the ass.
A few old school leaders had a boys club going on in the senior ranks. It became clear, quickly, what was going on. No chance they would fire me while great talent rushed for the exits. It was a good thing for me because I didn’t have the industry knowledge and needed to learn on the job. In the weeks that followed more top performers began to quit. The day before I joined two of the top two salespeople quit. I once worked for a tech company where this was the case. When high-performing talent quits en masse it’s a red flag.
