" You have a senior staff who's is taking care of everything within the team, such as training new staffs, assisting colleges , managing the floor , handling complaints , completing all tasks before SLA ,etc. His yearly appraisal is a top performer. He's one of the bests! ...For some reason this staff approach you & informed you that he's leaving the company as he's not finding any growth here for so many years & he's tired now. he's doing everything & in return he's not getting any thing from this company except compliments.He found new job already. What can you do to retain this staff due to his value ? "

I would recommend you to go with the behavioral type of questions (past experiences) you can pull many themes like the below ones: 

Tell me about a time when you demonstrated leadership skills

Tell me about a time that you took the lead on a difficult project

When have you delegated effectively, describe a time when you led by example

Who have you coached or mentored to achieve success?

Tell me about a time that you led an important meeting
