Despite booms and busts, technology advances, talent wars, layoffs, and even a global pandemic, people want what they've always wanted. Employees want-and now expect-meaningful work, supportive bosses, regular recognition, and a chance to learn and grow. And managers want their amazing people to stay-for at least a little while longer. For two decades, this Wall Street Journal bestseller-over 800,000 sold-has offered twenty-six simple strategies, from A to Z, that managers can use to address their employees' real concerns and keep them engaged.

And a new section called "Conversations That Count" offers discussion questions for sparking deeper conversation around the topics in the book. This new edition will ensure that Love 'Em or Lose 'Em will continue to help managers all over the world create a supportive workplace culture so they can fight burnout and keep the people they can least afford to lose.

Up Is Not the Only Way: Rethinking Career Mobility

Move up or move out. When those two options appear to be the only ones, dissatisfaction grows and engagement suffers. In decades of studying careers around the globe, Beverly Kaye, Lindy Williams, and Lynn Cowart have found that, in fact, there are more options. And rethinking career mobility can lead you to them! Career mobility isn't just about moving to a new city or country. It's about stretching, learning, and transforming. Whether you're working on your own career or you're a manager, a mentor, or a coach helping others, Up Is Not the Only Way offers you six ways to build successful mobile careers. Keep the same job but discover multiple ways to learn and grow while staying in the same place. If a new job in the same company is in the cards, experiment and test possibilities. Make a lateral move as a powerful way to develop new skills. If stepping back is the right answer, discover how it can be done without derailing a career. Pursue a promotion when it's the right time and role. And if it's time to step out the door, the authors suggest how to make an elegant exit that maybe leaves open the possibility of a return one day. The book includes important questions to consider-about interests, skills, values, and timing-when choosing to enrich or make a change. For each option, Up Is Not the Only Way explores how managers, coaches, and employees can have rich career conversations and partner to determine the best courses of action. Rather than narrowing aspirations to one dream job or role, Kaye, Williams, and Cowart encourage readers to take a "kaleidoscope" view-to be open to ever-shifting patterns of options, opportunities, and possibilities-to build a rewarding career.
