Stop your top talent from walking out the door.
Employees today have a sea of options for where and how they work—if they're not getting what they want, they'll move on. And if the threat of having your high performers working for the competition isn't bad enough, departing employees can leave behind serious financial and emotional costs at your company.
The HBR Guide to Retaining Your Best People offers concrete advice and tactics to keep high performers engaged and loyal to your organization. You'll discover how to create the right environment and opportunities, shape professional development in ways your stars value, and build a workplace where they want to excel.
You'll learn how to uncover the real reasons employees quit—and detect those at risk of leaving; discover the elements of work that your people value most; identify the top-notch, high-impact performers in your business; create development opportunities based on personalized career paths; assess your retention programs to see where they fall short; and keep your employees constantly learning and growing.
Your data is your business. Is it supporting your strategy?
Algorithms, machine learning, generative AI. With the latest advancements in technology, data is taking center stage in organizations. But without a clear plan for how you're storing, integrating, and gaining value from that information, your company will be at risk—and fall behind.
If you read (or listen to) nothing else on setting a data strategy in your organization, listen to these ten articles. We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you improve your analytic and algorithmic capabilities, navigate digital transformation, and achieve competitive advantage in our hyperconnected world.
This book will inspire you to quantify the benefits of a digital transformation; discover opportunities for innovative, data-backed products and services; better understand and improve your customer experience; break down silos and share higher-quality information across your organization; identify areas susceptible to cyberattacks and data breaches; and ensure metrics aren't overshadowing strategic objectives.

We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you communicate more effectively, cultivate trust, build a learning and risk-taking culture, and transform your team from one of high potentials to one of high performers.

Bring strategy into your daily work.
It's your responsibility as a manager to ensure that your work—and the work of your team—aligns with the overarching objectives of your organization. But when you're faced with competing projects and limited time, it's difficult to keep strategy front of mind. How do you keep your eye on the long term amid a sea of short-term demands?
The HBR Guide to Thinking Strategically provides practical advice and tips to help you see the big-picture perspective in every aspect of your daily work, from making decisions to setting team priorities to attacking your own to-do list.

Every day begins with the same challenge: too many tasks on your to-do list and not enough time to accomplish them. Perhaps you tell yourself to just buckle down and get it all done—skip lunch, work a longer day. Maybe you throw your hands up, recognize you can't do it all, and just begin fighting the biggest fire or greasing the squeakiest wheel.
And yet you know how good it feels on those days when you're working at peak productivity, taking care of difficult and meaty projects while also knocking off the smaller tasks that have been hanging over your head forever. Those are the times when your day didn't run you—you ran your day. To have more of those days more often, you need to discover what works for you given your strengths, your preferences, and the things you must accomplish.
Whether you're an assistant or the CEO, whether you've been in the workforce for forty years or are just starting out, this guide will help you be more productive. You'll discover different ways to motivate yourself to work when you really don't want to; take on less, but get more done; preserve time for your most important work; improve your focus; make the most of small pockets of time between meetings; set boundaries with colleagues—without alienating them; and take time off without tearing your hair out.
