How to Hire, Admire, Develop and Retain Talents with Love

You may wonder: I am a professional manager, what has love got to do with my work?

As we know, a manager is only good if he can get good people to work for him and get good people to stay.  Often companies are caught in a vicious circle: they need to hire people quickly to replace the loss of good people.  Once people come in, they are given everything (money, power, fame, position, responsibility and stress) except one thing: love.  As a result, good people leave them fast and they are soon caught in busy trend: hiring.  
Of course you could say that everyone in your industry is facing the same problem, this country has labour shortage, right?  It is not your fault as your company's salary is already very competitive.  Being a responsible manager, you know you have to do something to stop this.  Now there is a new strategy to do this: using Love.  Because if you don't love them, you'll lose them.
