So you\\u2019ve recruited someone who seems to be a great fit for a position, but do you have what it takes to retain them? This is where Gina and Susanna dive into today\\u2019s conversation. The first question - what if you started a position at a company, but then were offered a payout to leave the job? Gina takes this example from her favorite company when it comes to customer service, Zappos. She explains the extraordinary level of commitment, perks, culture, and values that come along with being an employee at the company, and how it ties back into recruiting.

Susanna talks about the core issues that are needed to both attract new employees and then keep them happy and fulfilled in their jobs. They discuss the process in which companies choose their core values, and if it\\u2019s really the best way to do it, are leaders actually being an example of the company\\u2019s values or just talking about it, what defines a manager vs. leader, negativity bias, and when it\\u2019s good to show your softer side when leading a team.
