Why Companies Lose Talent

Why 'Transform NOW' Culture Drives Talent Away (with Mark Cruth)


Listen Later

Most companies think they're losing talent because of salary or remote work policies. They're wrong.

Mark Cruth, Atlassian's Head of Team Anywhere, has coached teams at Boeing, Nordstrom, and now one of the world's most distributed companies. In this episode, he reveals why the real culprits are transformation theater, lack of psychological safety, and unsustainable work cultures that push your best people toward the exit.

We discuss:

  • Why "we need to transform NOW" mindsets actually drive talent away
  • The early warning signs that your company's way of working has become unsustainable
  • How lack of clear storytelling causes teams to wander in different directions (and eventually leave)

If you're wondering why your top performers are quietly job searching, this conversation will give you the answers your exit interviews won't.
