Mark Miller was a long-time leader for the Chick-fil-A company who led their employee learning and development initiatives. While there, he oversaw a significant research project that sought to identify what the top talent in a company wants from their leaders. Here’s what they found…

Top talent want:

1. A better boss – they want to be led well.
2. A brighter future – they think on a different timeline than other employees and are paying attention to the future the company is creating.
3. A bigger vision – they want to be part of a healthy, vibrant organization; they want to win; and they want to be part of something bigger.

Is this what your high-performers are getting from you?
