Description

In this episode of the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, William dives deep into the art of building, running, and keeping a great team by tackling one of today’s most pressing challenges—turnover. He shares candid insights and real-world anecdotes on why people join a cause and why they leave, emphasizing that it’s rarely the company or mission at fault—it’s often the leadership.

Key discussion points include:

  • Vision vs. Management: How a compelling vision can attract talent, but a poor management approach drives them away.

  • Realistic Expectations: The importance of setting clear, honest expectations during hiring to prevent disillusionment and turnover.

  • Understanding Your Team: Strategies for learning how each team member is “wired,” and adapting your communication and leadership style accordingly.

  • The Human Element: How genuinely connecting with employees—making them feel seen, known, and valued—can significantly boost retention.

  • Practical Retention Tactics: From setting short-term goals to effective delegation, discover actionable tips for creating an environment where great teams flourish.

Whether you’re leading a church, a nonprofit, or a corporate organization, this episode provides actionable strategies to ensure your team not only stays but thrives under your leadership.
