"Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to."
Simplified meaning
If you give people the right skills and knowledge, they will have the ability to do their jobs really well, which could make them qualified to work anywhere they choose. By doing this, you help them grow and improve, making them capable of advancing their careers even without you. However, if you also treat these people kindly and with respect, giving them a good work environment, they will feel happy and appreciated. This positive treatment makes them prefer to stay with you rather than look for new opportunities elsewhere. Imagine a workplace where the boss invests in training their employees while also creating a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The employees become highly skilled but feel valued and content, so they see no reason to leave for another job.
