Sachin Jain, President and CEO, Board Director at SCAN Health Plan, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Every so often a talented colleague wanders into my office to tell me about an opportunity outside the company that compels them.
My first, instinctual (internal) reaction is always the same:
Why would you leave?
We have a great thing going here.
Then I’m reminded of one of my early career mentors, Michael Rosenblatt, who memorably once told me:
‘Both of us will know each other much longer than our time at the company, so I’m always going to think about what’s right for you.’
And then I start to listen hard and think hard about what is best for the person in front of me.
And sometimes the answer is stay.
And my work is then to convince them of that—and make it clearly worth their while to do so.
And other times, bittersweet as it is, it’s to say, ‘go,’ knowing that (as Mike told me and lived by) we will have a relationship that persists far beyond.”
