"We managed to keep all our people and just spread the money around a bit," Leno tellsIt's a decision Leno would make again. "We had a really loyal staff," he says. "We had the same people for 22 years — almost nobody left. I had the same writers, same producers, same talent coordinators."aims to keep his employees happy and fulfilled at work. He believes loyalty is crucial in creating a positive work environment.
When people felt they were confident and secure in their job, then they tend to work a little bit harder.Building and maintaining that kind of atmosphere requires more than the occasional grand gesture, however. Leno also instituted an open-door policy and always contracted writers for a full year, rather than a 13-week run, he says.
"When people felt they were confident and secure in their job, then they tend to work a little bit harder," Leno explains., Leno found: "When people feel they're part of the process, and their livelihood depends on your livelihood, they're more likely to do a good job." Another key aspect of Leno's leadership philosophy: He made sure to visibly carry his own weight on the show, rather than coasting on the efforts of his writers and producers.
"I try to get there early and leave the latest," he says. "People don't begrudge you how much money you're making if they think you're working for it. You're coming in before them and you're supporting them and then you leave at the end of the day after they leave. I think that inspires loyalty."
