"Let Your People Go"

Do your policies, style, or subconscious attitudes keep employees from moving to new jobs within your organization? Are you anxious about teaching your key report how to do everything you do and replace you? Is one or more of your supervisors blocking the career advancement of some of their top people?

Managers can often be stumbling blocks to internal mobility in a company. Smart firms set up systems that encourage managers to play a stronger role in advancing their staff's’ careers. Or that at least prevent managers from hindering workers who want to transfer. If their career growth with you is blocked, your best workers may decide to seek a better deal with your biggest competitor.
