The Myth of “A” Players
These are risks when it comes to employee retention and engagement. Treating your employees as if they could only be the best of the best is not dealing with reality, and most employees will not enjoy working for a boss who has trouble with reality. It is implausible that everyone in the organization is an exceptional hire. Accept that. It’s OK. Companies have worked with many average folks who do a solid job for decades. It works, and it allows you to reward and recognize exceptional achievements instead of always downplaying them.Â

We are quick to scoff at the idea that we should maybe figure out how to make them a little less demanding, or at least more friendly for diverse candidates who can’t simply work all night, or be on call 24 hours a day for our clients because that’s just the way it’s done in our industry. We tend to think that because all of the jobs in the industry are like that, we don’t have to worry about competitors offering something else to our employees.
We are not considering how many people we drive out of the industry completely, especially young people. There is a staffing shortage in these industries, and the companies struggling to find enough talent are not losing out to some other mysterious company in the industry who can pick and choose, we’re all in the same boat because the boat is leaking people every single day. People are making the choice to do something else because what we offer isn’t cutting it.
