For the second year in a row an informal, nonscientific poll I conducted reveals "Poor Company Leadership" as the number one reason people leave their jobs. Here were the top 5 Reasons for Leaving in the poll conducted via social media in Spring 2015:

24% -- Poor Company Leadership
16% -- Job Ended: Laid off, Terminated, etc. 
15% -- Disliked Job Duties/Not a Good Fit

13% -- Poor Relationship with Boss
13% -- No Chance for Advancement

Not showing on chart are the remaining reasons for leaving:

5% -- Desired Better Salary/Benefits
5% -- Didn't Feel Valued/Appreciated
3% -- Hostile Work Environment
2% -- Started Own Business
2% -- Lack of Work/Life Balance
2% -- Relocation
