But If You Must Leave Index About the Authors Working with the Authors Going Deeper: Individual & Organizational Love It Resources

The authors of this book were introduced to each other by a mutual friend who insisted that they had a great deal in com- mon, both personally and professionally. She was right on both counts. (Thank you, Susan!) Their professional partnership produced their first book, Love 'Em or Lose 'Em- Getting Good People to Stay, and a host of workshops and products to support managers in their ef- forts to engage and retain their talent. Their continued work together led to many discussions and debates and eventually gave way to the book that is now in your hands.

In their immensely practical book, Kaye and Jordan-Evans show how. --Marcus Buckingham, coauthor of First, Break All the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths Finally, a handbook for taking action that every employee needs and any employee can use to take ownership and accountability for their job, career and happiness. When you're tired of playing 'the blame game' and want to get results, pick up this book! --Bob Nelson, Ph.D., author of 1001 Ways to Reward Employees and 1001 Ways to Take Initiative at Work This book is a rich buffet of ideas for taking your work to the next level.
