And sometimes you should be encouraging your best people to leave before they quit.

This happens when they outgrow the position you have for them and the best thing you can do is help them find more opportunities to grow.

In the short term you lose someone great, in the long term you've built a great relationship and a great advocate.

This is a really insightful piece, and one that any dev can relate to.

I've personally found those 5 reasons to start popping up in folks heads once the org starts pulling back on transparency and/or communication, so little doubts and wonderments creep in.

Folks who've been burned in the past by re-orgs / outsourcing / project cancelations tend to be on the lookout for "writing on the wall", which seems to appear in the void of adequate communication.

Anywho, thanks for the article! Will share it around.
