100 Recommended by Beth Sunshine Since employees who walk out the door cost their companies up to 200 percent of their annual salaries to replace, retention is one of the most important issues facing businesses today. And with so many surveys reporting that employees are unhappy and not working up to their full potential, engagement is a second serious and costly is- sue. This book is packed with simple strategies managers can use to address their employees’ real concerns and keep them engaged. Recommend- ed by Tirzah Thornburg I would rec- ommend this book for work- ing women, es- pecially those managing a staff and those who are also parents. I think men, particu- larly those with a spouse who works and those with daugh- ters can benefit from and learn gender sen- sitivity from Lean In. Recommended by Greg Giersch A good survey level book that can always apply to manage- ment.
