Encouraging your star performers to consider outside job offers might seem like a bad idea. But doing so sends them a clear signal that you care about their learning and development. Tell the people you manage that you want them to consider all options for their careers. This will help them to talk openly with you about their career plans, which in turn will give you the time and opportunity to find a way to keep them when they're considering a job offer. Maybe you can give them a new project, add to their responsibilities, or negotiate a raise. And if you think an employee has grown as much as they can in your company, support their efforts to get a job somewhere else. Your transparency will make them more likely to recommend your company as a great place to work, and maybe even to return in the future.
