Course overview

Life is good. You’re hitting all of your departmental deadlines, your team’s a credit to you, and someone has brought in doughnuts. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a top team member tells you they’ve received an offer from another company, and they want to leave.

It’s natural to feel anxious or disappointed about losing a high performer from your team or organization. Sometimes, exploring why someone wants to move on will help you retain them, if it’s in their best interests. But sometimes, letting your best people leave is a good thing. What if it could help their career progression and that of other team members, who might be ready to step up to a new challenge? This course explores the positives in this situation.
