Thanks for this one, Robert. I’m a people manager and see a small group of my direct reports reaching the stage where their next move may not be in the company. Trying to find paths that align my care for them and the company’s needs is hard and you have some useful framing. (Next challenge, how to discuss this without an OTP or culture to support that)

This is a great article. My question stems from when you have honest conversations with the employee and the employee doesn't know how to manage that conversation. The leader stepping up to have an honest conversation is the first step, but in order for this to be successful, the conversation needs to be heard. How do you help employees to see the conversation for what it is and at the end of the day, understand that the leader does care about them as a whole person - and that change is needed.
