 Anne Rose writes, "I am not advocating parenting your employees. But some of your employees may not have had the best role models in their life, so they have undeveloped critical judgment skills and poor decision-making with an inability to predict the consequences of their behavior. I worked with a young lady once who had barely been on the job for one week before asking for a day off to go shopping with her mother.

 Roberta Matuson writes, "I met with a prospect recently who asked me what the industry average was for employee turnover in high-growth companies. I responded by saying, ‘You want to be average? You can do much better than this. You can set the standard that others aspire to!’ Think about it. When we compare ourselves to the industry average, whether it be for sales, cost per hire, or employee turnover, we do ourselves a disservice."
