One of my team members said that he wanted to leave the job and would like to try for a position in the government. Considering his priority, I said that, this is your organisation, go and attend the interview. If you get the job, I said well and good. If not selected, consider this as your own organisation, come back and join. He left and tried for the new job, but could not qualify. After returning his attitude has changed. He was not focussed on the work. He thought that he was indispensable and I cannot do anything without him. It was like when a guest says bye, but not leaving, the host feels embarrassed and still standing at the door to send off. I was in that situation. After a few months, another team member was leaving the organisation for higher education. The same person without any reason also wanted to leave at the same time. For making me vulnerable and feel insecure, and expecting me to plead with him to stay. This time I said, yes please you can go and asked him when he is leaving. And I did not offer him a chance to come back if he failed to find a better job of his choice. I felt the freedom by letting him go. He did not get any job and was just loitering around after that for several months. Within a few days, I could find a more committed team to work. When one is seeking freedom, give complete freedom and have freedom. Never tag with something to return back. An earmarked thing can never gain complete freedom in life.
