I agree with Scott a 100%.

Exceptional employees behave like really good managers.

They tend to solve things before things get too ugly, they walk around, taking care of people and issues, they usually win people into the commitments that are needed to get things done, they usually deactivate arguments and thorny situations before these things explode.

Any manager must look for and look after these employees. It turns out to be a really busy task, since you have to customize your treatment to every single exceptional employee.

The rewards are plenty, since by doing so you may help other exceptional-employees-to-be to pop up out the blue.
