As a leader, I learned and lived by two rules; 1) my job is to make my team members and my leader look good, and 2) develop my team members (and anyone else willing/wanting to develop) to give them something worthy to talk about in their next interview for a new role internally or externally. What I get in return is these people also have my back; it is reciprocal.
