Your team needs a path. Do you have career paths mapped and shared? Do you have training programs to help team members move forward on that path? Building up your farm team can be a much better investment than going after a free agent.

Crazy non-work-related job stories? I followed a man who popped into our ground-floor office and stole a purse off a desk. I shadowed him for blocks while on the phone with 911. The police got him, and my team member got her purse back. No one messes with my team.
