As a manager, you have a subordinate that you nurtured and helped him to achieve his potentials. He becomes an asset to you.Would you let him go? Why?

No one would like to see an asset go away, that's no doubt. But if they wish to go, then you have to let them go because you can't force someone to stay if they have made up their minds to leave. They might be looking for a bigger challenge, independence, autonomy or even a better platform for their career development. I think a mutual agreement with them would be a good alternative for instance; working with or for you for some period, then they will be free to go. Thanks for the invitation

Thanks

Yes, if s-he wants to do so..... this simply our life ( ce la vie ), we make a balloons to fly away on the sky

Thanks for invitation, As long as he has a good offer, for much better career path,of course I will wishing him all the best of luck.

Well, provided he got a valid offer to excel and groom and if i will be able to provide him the same package i will stop him. If not, he is free to go as growth of your employee/ ex-employee is important. We should not bound people from growing.

If he wants to leave, I wish him good luck

No one is indispensable

Why to let him go? Give me a reason for that.

 

You invested time, effort, skills and probably money to help him reach his potential to let him go? Of course no.

 

You did all that to keep him, so keep him.

 

of course, and I'll be proud of my product and will do the same for someone else. 

If you cannot retain him, let him go as there is no reason why you cannot train another one.
