The project is done, and your team is disbanding. You knew all along this was the natural course this epic movie would play out. Your job as leader isn’t just to say “good luck, hope your next job goes well.” You are their key reference, you are their key networking contact. Be proactive. Write the referrals and recommendations. Help them to see all the great achievements and accomplishments to put on their resume. Because for most of us, this project isn’t a one and done – it’s a stepping stone. Make sure that stepping stone isn’t just a tripping hazard in their life journey but truly a way up to a joyful future.
