Over the last several months, a new addition to our business lexicon has developed: “The Great Resignation.” But I’m not so sure that’s the right term for it. We’re describing the symptom, not the cause. In the last few months, this topic has been near the top of discussion points on my many coffee and breakfast meetings with owners, leaders and partners. I’ve heard from owners about ...
