#3 on this list is under-rated, in my opinion.
- pizza234 6y agoAlthough this is (I guess) a bit too generic, I don't get why it's being downvoted, as the points all make sense. Point 4 for example ("Support their other goals (startups, health, lifestyle)"), is basically the same as what the current top comment states as "1. Give them flexibility eg- work timings, wfh." Point 1 is again another one of the top comment's point.
- Proziam 6y agoI expect it's because of the redundancy in the posts. My reasoning for that is my feeling that 'adding on' another thing to keep in mind would have made the thought too incomplete to be useful on its own. Either way I strongly feel that giving people a way to move on to the next big important mission as they progress is the real secret. Humans get bored and all the bonuses and free lunches in the world won't keep highly motivated talent from seeking out something they consider 'worthy' of their time.
- chrisan 6y ago> health, lifestyle I think this is a big one, at least from my 40yo pov. Getting a boss to tell the client "we will add that feature to our list" vs telling me "we really like this client, how fast can you crank out this feature for this stupid deadline" I value my personal time/health more than salary.
