![]() ![]() In an alliance, employer and employee develop a relationship based on how they can add value to each other. As Reid described it, think of employment as an alliance: a mutually beneficial deal, with explicit terms, between independent players. Here were some of the highlights from the chat:īoth company and employee should add value to each other. We touched on all these themes and more in the lively conversation. Inspired and informed by LinkedIn’s founding, and filled with stories and lessons from companies throughout Silicon Valley and beyond, The Alliance teaches managers how to recruit, manage, and retain today’s entrepreneurial employees. The solution? Stop thinking of employees as family or free agents, and start thinking of them as allies on a tour of duty. But you can’t build a lasting, innovative business when everyone acts like a free agent. Managers face a seemingly impossible dilemma: You can’t afford to offer lifetime employment. The premise of the book is that the employer-employee relationship is broken. Last week, I had the pleasure of chatting with LinkedIn co-founder and executive chairman Reid Hoffman and CEO Jeff Weiner for the LinkedIn Speaker Series about our new book The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age. ![]()
