Many leaders are surprised when someone with talent decides to leave.
They interpret it as disloyalty.
But it's not that.
There was no room to grow, propose or breathe.
Because those times where loyalty was measured in years of stay They don't exist anymore.
Today, if we want people to stay, we need to give them clarity, tools... and meaning.
Yeah, that's right.
A "what for" that feels his own.
Space to satiate that hunger, of adding, to contribute, to build something bigger than yourself.
And it's ironic.
Because that —Just that.— is what we have always sought: people who add up.
But when they don't do it as we expect, when they dare to think differently, to challenge the established, they suddenly no longer "serve us."
Loyalty is no longer a matter of fact.
It's not a "given."
And it doesn't just hold up with antiquity.
Today, true loyalty is built day to daygiving meaning to what we do and, to the objectives we set ourselves together. Because if someone feels that they no longer add up... the most loyal thing they can do is to find a place where they can.
