<p>The best radio managers understand the crucial importance of creating an atmosphere where the talent feels safe, supported and appreciated.  If things have deteriorated to the point where a host is willing to go to court to escape the station, that atmosphere is gone for good. A ruling in management&#8217;s favor is a Pyrrhic victory.</p>
<p>Hardly a new lesson: Pharaoh learned it 3,000 years ago.  You can&#8217;t keep talented people against their will.  If you try, you risk all sorts of plagues.</p>
