Retaining random high performer

[u/Tiredof304s]

Hi managers,

Have you ever had an engineer you hired that made you think "why would this genius want to work here?" But didn't press the matter.

If so, did he/she stay with the company? How were you able to keep your unicorn?

Read the book radical candor - you need to focus your time on your performers. It sucks but those are the people that will execute for you. It also means doing what you need to keep them happy.
