This document discusses how to retain talented employees. It argues that while compensation is important, feeling special and valued is more significant for highly skilled workers. The key ways to show talented staff they are valued are: 1) Never dismiss their ideas, as they are deeply invested in developing their skills; 2) Never block their development, as they will leave for opportunities elsewhere; and 3) Never pass up chances to praise them, as recognition is important to prevent resentment or them drifting away. Treating talented employees as individuals, not just members of a group, is important for retention.
