Welcome to Manager Tools.

Today's topic. My direct is resigning, Chapter 1, Never Counteroffer.

Part 2. Here we go.

All right.

Point 3, admit it will be hard to lose them, if true, because you could lose them. All right?

Yeah.

But look, it's still not time to start discussing with them,

let alone even think about counter-offering.

Ultimately, guys, a counter-offer is a sign of weakness.

By definition, a counter is better than their present employment situation with us.

To have our direct actions be the cause of our changing things, admits that we weren't managing

well to begin with.

So that's a sign of weakness, a weakness in the past. admits that we weren't managing well to begin with.

So that's a sign of weakness, a weakness in the past.

To jump to trying to solve the problem

without getting as much information

as it is reasonable just amplifies our weakness. So the next thing we do is

express respect for their abilities and performance by telling them they'll be

missed.

Right? I mean, look, we congratulate and we say, tell me all about it, right?

It's still about them, okay?

And we're buying ourselves time
