FREE GUIDE • FROM THE BECOME THE LEADER PODCAST
Keep the people you can't afford to lose.
Exit interviews tell you why people left. A stay interview tells you why they stay, and what would pull them away, while you can still do something about it.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Everything you need to run your first stay interview this week
01
Word-for-word scripts
An opening and closing script so the conversation feels safe, not like a performance review.
02
23 proven questions
Six categories, with the five essential questions to ask in every interview clearly marked.
03
A one-page stay plan
Turn what you hear into action with a Keep, Fix, Grow, Lead plan and a 90-day follow-up timeline.
04
Retention risk score
A simple six-factor score that tells you who needs attention this week, not after they resign.
People leave managers more often than companies
Most leaders find out an employee is unhappy the day the resignation letter lands. A stay interview flips that. In 30 to 45 minutes, you learn what keeps your best people engaged, what frustrates them, and where they want to grow. Then you act on it.
It's one of the simplest retention tools a leader can use, and one of the most overlooked.
