#resignation

One of my team member resigned.

He felt almost sorry letting me know about his decision.

I pushed for better rating for him in the last cycle as he deserved it.

He was moving to an aspirational brand.

I knew that he will do well in his new role.

I would have loved to have him in my team.

Mind felt like stopping him, the Heart said, let him go and make his exit smooth.

I wished him good luck and jokingly said “Go there and see if you find something interesting for my seniority ;)“

Till I was working in Corporate, he kept coming back with senior roles that he came to know in his company.

He would come back for discussions, guidance and more so to let me know how my mentoring has helped him grow in the new place.

“Leadership is not just about building an A team, but it is also about letting them go if that is best for them“.

Agree?

Two managers I never forgot in my life -

One) Who said - “Go, I will take care.“

Two) Who said - “Go but take your laptop and keep your phone on.“

In both situations, I asked for an urgent leave to take care of a health crisis at home.

My two cents is a famous quote - “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.“

Leadership is about getting things done, but it is also about maintaining good relationships with the team. Leaders need people again and again if they wish to be in a leadership position.
