What is the best way to reward leaders to assure long-term retention?

Implement long-term rewards such as opportunities for personal growth rather than short-term rewards like bonuses and stock options.
Executives are more likely to demand short-term rewards when they distrust a firm's long-term commitment to them.
So to reduce employees' distrust, construction employers should:
implement long-term programs,
stress job security, and
promote from within.
