How To Take Action

I would suggest recognizing when your team members are ready to move on and pursue their own ventures. Just like I did with a valued employee, if you see true potential in them, encourage them to take the leap. Understand that sometimes letting go of a good team member, while feeling like a loss, can actually be a huge win if it means you're helping them chase bigger dreams.

A good way of doing this is to support them and guide them through the transition. Set up a clear exit plan that lasts about 30 days, ensuring that both the business and the individual are well-prepared for the change. This period allows for a smooth handover of responsibilities, minimizing disruption while maximizing support.

Maintaining relationships with former employees as a mentor can bring lifelong benefits. Stay connected with those who leave, offering guidance when needed. These relationships can provide mutual benefits and foster a network of trust and growth over time.

By implementing these strategies, not only are you showing empathy and support for your team’s growth, but you're also establishing a lasting network of allies who respect and admire your commitment to their personal and professional success. Remember, empowering others can be one of the greatest achievements of any leader.
