I think the OP is being harder on himself than he is on the departing employees. He understands their motives and challenges leaders to try harder.

- LeifCarrotson 7y agoTry harder to do what? To change the employee/employer relationship from an economic exchange between two parties to one where there's a one-sided loyalty from the employee to the employer?
- mlyle 7y agoTry harder to do, among other things, the stuff he listed in his previous (linked) article: > Keeping an interesting problem squarely in front of them. > Let them experiment. > They can only ‘take one for the team’ for so long. > Protect their time. Embrace the ambiguity of their experiment. > Aggressively remove noise. I > Tell them what the hell is going on. etc. He makes it quite clear over the two articles that this is not an all-encompassing list. He is not asking for blind loyalty, but instead trying to create environments where people will not be eager to consider other opportunities.
