He is still working to get his managers to think and act that way. The best compliment a manager can receive is to be viewed as a developer of people. Thanks for visiting and continuing the conversation! Jim,

My vote for best line (a keen competition): "Assume your best people are being courted by others in the organization - and other organizations." This, combined with your admonition to, with that in mind, work hard to keep these stars rewardingly engaged, is of singular importance, but all too often overlooked. But the idea I like best of all is in the title. A manager should be proud that his or her people are being poached - the best are probably staying, and in any event the manager's star is certainly rising at the same time. If you can develop people who others want to steal from you, you are doing a great job - and you should be training the thieves, as well. A "net exporter of talent" - there's a lot there to think about - thanks! Joe,
