Beyond Exit Interviews: What CEOs and Boards Get Wrong About Talent

Are you losing your best people and don't know why? In this final episode of our four-part series with Frederic Lucas-Conwell, founder of GRI.co, we tackle the most expensive problem in business: top talent walking out the door. Most companies think they understand why high performers leave. They're wrong. From boardroom battles to manager missteps, Frederic reveals the behavioral mismatches that drive your best people away—and the surprisingly simple changes that can keep them engaged. We discuss why CEOs and boards clash despite shared goals, what "engagement" really means (hint: it's not what most tools measure), and the one overlooked factor that matters more than perks, ping pong tables, or pizza Fridays. If you're tired of expensive turnover, bland exit interviews, and watching talent walk to your competitors, this episode delivers actionable insights you can use this week. No fluff, no corporate speak—just honest conversation about what actually works. All episodes from this series are here.
