Recently I found myself in the position of a diving save not of someone who reports to me, but of a peer. In this case, the balance is more difficult. On one hand, I have my own self-interest at heart -- I intend to stay at the organization, and I believe that my peer has great value to contribute to the organization. On the other hand, I have his as well, as a friend -- is the offer that they received likely to do better for them in the long term? In this case, I felt like the two interests were aligned: I felt like their opportunity for growth within my organization was going to be greater than the opportunity that they had available in the company that they were going to. The mechanics were similar, then: understanding why the current role was better, I could explain it cogently. The moral, I suppose, is that not in all cases, but in /some cases/, there exist times when diving saves can be executed by peers, too.
