“We can’t afford to lose this person.” Managers love status and insight. If that’s not enough, improvement is not a primary goal, and likely it’s time to move on.

Might work in a startup but senior leadership at enterprisey companies will not accept that as an answer.

They love metrics and that sort of thing, that's why it's hard to quantify even though it's clearly valuable.

Good leaders will help you and can recall instances where your knowledge helped.
