I mostly make sure they aren't overworked for long periods, are happy, and aren't running into the same blocker over and over again. I'll let the strong ones know what I'm documenting and how we'll proceed making sure they get compensated. I can't promise anything (I have great input don't get me wrong) so I let them know how I'll advocate for them.
On skip steps I make sure their mentor and manager are keeping them happy and doing this shit (within reason some of you have absurd demands that I just find crazy).
