A key employee just quit - now what???

It happens to most small business owners and can derail your strategic growth process. How can you get back on track and potentially thrive from the change?

Keep a good relationship with the exiting employee

Unless something really bad happened, do your best to keep up the relationship. Remember this person will still talk about and potentially recommend your business after they leave. They may want to rejoin your team someday. And it is better for your mental health as well.
