About this episode
In this episode of The 7 Minute Leadership Podcast, Paul Falavolito breaks down the real reason employees quit—it’s not about pay or benefits, it’s about protection. Every resignation letter begins with a moment where someone felt exposed, unsupported, or unprotected. Paul explains why protecting your team is the core of true leadership, the hidden costs of failing to do so, and five practical ways to safeguard your people. If you want loyalty, retention, and performance, this episode will show you how to earn it.
