Special Episode: What’s The Key To Retaining Top Performing Talent?

Duration: 00:02:22

Every leader asks it: How do I keep my best people engaged and committed?

In this special solo episode of The Tessa Tubbs Podcast, Tessa explores what organizations often overlook when it comes to retention—and why clinging to mediocrity costs far more than turnover.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

  • Why holding onto “warm bodies” disguised as talent drives top performers away.
  • How culture and reputation shape your ability to attract and retain excellence.
  • The difference between macro culture (organization-wide) and micro cultures (teams).
  • Practical steps leaders can take to create an environment where top performers thrive.

Top talent knows their value. If your organization doesn’t reflect it back, they won’t stay.

This episode offers actionable insights to help leaders build a culture that not only attracts but also sustains high performers over the long term.

Listen now and learn how to keep your best people—by building the kind of environment they never want to leave.
