Every leader obsesses about building a star factory, but the sad truth is you'll never keep all your best talent. While they're working for you, worry less about losing them and instead influence their thinking. Turn them into evangelists for the way you do business and be brave enough to set expectations about what it means to be a good alumnus of your organization. Invest in a strong foundation, unlock their potential and then help them get to the next level -- whether it's inside or out of your company. You'll not only have more empowered employees but you'll gain loyalists who'll turn into clients long after they leave.
