I think the person they want to work for is likely the most valuable way to keep someone. However, that may also result in the members of the relationship mutually agreeing that the developer would be happier elsewhere because of their goals.
I think keeping a developer requires them to be interested in their work and able to grow in their position towards their own individual goals. That's in addition to appreciating the person they work for!
I agree, Laurie. In fact, I find when people have a strong connection with their manager, that manager might encourage them to pursue their dreams outside the company. This is because the manager cares about them as a real person, not as a resource to be used up.
Unsurprisingly, when a manager builds this kind of relationship with people, they often cross paths in the future, either by returning to the original company or following the manager when they leave the company.

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more.
