Don't Buy Their Lunch, Buy Their Loyalty

The Daily Habits That Actually Retain Employees

Turnover is the most expensive problem you’re not solving.
And it’s draining your budget, destabilizing your teams, and slowing everything your organization is trying to achieve.

Don’t Buy Their Lunch, Buy Their Loyalty is a practical guide for leaders who want to stop reacting to resignations and start building a workplace where people stay because they want to, not because they have to.

Drawing from her work with executives across industries, Dr. Sharon Grossman introduces The Performance HABIT, a simple fifteen-minute-a-day system that aligns leadership behavior with the conditions that drive engagement, performance, and loyalty.

In this book, you’ll learn:
• Why high performers quit quietly long before they quit publicly
• The psychology of disengagement—and how to reverse it fast
• How to read morale as accurately as financials
• Why perks don’t move the retention needle
• The daily rhythm that keeps teams focused, motivated, and connected
• A step-by-step process leaders can adopt immediately

Leaders don’t need more meetings, programs, or incentives.
They need clarity, consistency, and an operating system that makes engagement part of everyday management.

Whether you’re a CEO, founder, executive, or emerging leader, this book will give you the tools to:
• Strengthen culture
• Increase retention
• Reduce burnout
• Improve execution
• Build trust faster
• Create teams that run on ownership, not pressure

If you want a leadership approach that produces measurable results—and you’re tired of losing great people—this book belongs on your desk, not your shelf.
