DCT14102013: People Matter More Than Perks
DAILY CAREER TIP 14.10.2013
People Matter More Than Perks
It’s so trendy to pick the company that offers the most flex time, unlimited meals, company massages, game rooms and team outings. Those should all matter, but not as much as the character of your founders and managers. Great leaders will mentor you and will be a loyal source of employment long after you’ve left. Make a conscious bet on the folks you’re going to work for and your commitment to them will pay off much more than those fluffy perks. – Jason Nazar
Thank you for sharing this tip. Again, the story of the ‘Atedo Peterside guys’ readily comes to mind.
Currently reading a book by John Maxwell, where he said workers do not quit organisations where they work, but rather they quit the people they are working with.
