As the founder and CEO of Career Systems International, and a best-selling author on workplace performance, Dr. Kaye has worked with a host of organizations to establish cutting-edge, award-winning talent development solutions. Her seminal book, "Up is Not the Only Way," published in the early '80s, anticipated the impact of leaner, flatter organizations on careers, stressing the importance of employees taking charge of their own career paths.

The book emphasizes practical strategies for managers to retain key employees.

Dr. Kaye's portfolio of influential books includes "Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Organizations Need and Employees Want," "Hello Stay Interviews, Goodbye Talent Loss: A Manager's Playbook," and "Love It, Don't Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work," co-authored with Sharon Jordan-Evans. These works collectively address the critical aspects of career development, employee engagement, and workplace satisfaction. She is also the editor of "Learning Journeys," a collection of essays from top management experts, and has written numerous articles in both professional journals and popular publications. Dr. Kaye frequently provides expert commentary to the news media on workplace issues.

In addition to her publishing achievements, Dr. Kaye has pioneered innovative approaches to mentoring with her "Mentworking" program, which combines mentoring and networking to better suit contemporary organizational structures. Among Career Systems International's clients are leading global organizations including ADM, American Express, Caterpillar, Citigroup, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Marriott, and Morrison.

Love It, Don’t Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work

Workplace surveys currently report that employees feel disenchanted, discouraged, and disengaged. If employees are not engaged, they withhold their energy and their commitment. Many stay put. They wait and watch for the economy to shift and opportunities to open. This does no one any good. Organizations lose. Employees lose. Dr. Kaye’s recent book, Love It, Don’t Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work places some responsibility for workplace satisfaction in the hands and hearts of the individual.

Love ’Em or Lose ’Em: Keeping the Talent on Your Team

Regardless of the state of the economy, organizations need to hold on to their talent. With a 10 million worker shortage by 2010, no organization can afford to remove this subject from their radar screen. Managers must learn how to engage, motivate and retain the talent on their teams. Dr. Kaye’s bestseller, Love ’Em or Lose ’Em: Getting Good People to Stay provides “how-to’s” for managers who are already overwhelmed. Her specific advice, presented in an interactive speech or keynote, can be immediately implemented.

Up is Not the Only Way

While issues surrounding development are rated low on most organizational surveys, they rate high among top reasons employees stay with their organizations. All employees care about their careers and want to take control. Sometimes, though, they don’t know how and most managers wish these conversations could be easier. Beginning 20 years ago with the publication of her now classic book, Up Is Not The Only Way, Dr. Kaye has addressed employee, manager and executive audiences on the topic of career development.
