You've built a dream team but now someone wants to leave. To prevent hunting, make employees feel illuminated, inspired and satisfied by picking people wisely, understanding risks and having backups, engaging with employees, creating a healthy work environment, setting career goals, timely salary reviews, embracing and appreciating team members, and asking them not to leave. If someone does leave, resolve it with minimal impact by not panicking, acting with dignity, avoiding counter-offers, throwing a farewell party, and conducting an exit interview.
