How should we do an amazing exit interview?

EXIT INTERVIEW (FOR JENNIFER) 
 
When someone leaves
the business, we all seem
to play a blame game.
 
The aim seems to be
to justify the fact that
the person has gone.
This leaves only negativity.
 
What we so often fail to do,
is to be grateful for the times
of learning and joy,
that the person brought,
 
for their personality,
for their willingness
to be part of our lives and
to contribute in their own way.
 
Of course, none
of us is perfect.
But the real challenge of leaving
is to remember that the person
is still here in our world and
will always be a part of our lives,
as we are of theirs.
