Retention isn’t just about raises or perks. The most powerful tools to keep your best finance talent? Mentorship and recognition. They cost almost nothing, but create a culture where high performers feel seen, supported, and set up to grow. In finance, where turnover is costly and leadership pipelines matter, this is your edge.

Michael Molloy attended this morning’s Accelerant Breakfast (thanks to Ronnie Kurlander for the invite!). It was truly unforgettable, thanks to an inspiring keynote from West Point graduate and former NFL athlete Caleb Campbell. Caleb shared his remarkable journey and delivered a powerful message on the importance of vulnerability in business and leadership. Thank you, Caleb, for reminding us that true leadership begins with authenticity.

He didn’t say anything. Just worked late, missed lunches, and stopped speaking up in meetings. By the time his resignation hit my inbox, it wasn’t a surprise—it was just too late. If your best people are quietly job hunting, you won’t know until they’re already out the door. Retention isn’t about counteroffers or last-minute attempts to fix morale. It’s about making employees feel valued, invested in, and balanced before they ever think of leaving. Our latest article in the "Transforming Talent Management" series discusses strategies for creating incentives that boost employee retention. #TalentCompass #FinanceLeadership #RetentionStrategy #CFOPlaybook #currents

“I can’t stay here.” We've all heard this from people in our personal and professional network (or maybe you've said it yourself). Not because of pay. Not because of burnout. But because they don’t see a future. No clear path. No development. No reason to stay. High performers don’t wait. If they don’t see their next step, they’ll go elsewhere. ✅ Define career paths ✅ Invest in leadership development ✅ Offer cross-functional exposure ✅ Support upskilling & certifications. If you want to retain your best people, don’t just tell them they have a future—show them the way. #FinanceLeadership #TalentRetention #CFOInsights #CFOPlaybook
