Stop Spending Your Best Time on Your Worst People

Right now, your best employee is probably thinking about leaving your company, and here's why. They don't want to put up with the C players anymore. They're tired of it. They actually feel like they're not being love-bombed as much as they should be. And if these are truly your best players, you should be giving your time to them, your energy to them, and even your coaching and development to them. But they kind of feel like the ugly duckling. They feel like the stepchild because you're spending all of your time with the C players. You're spending all of your time with the underperformers, The toxic negative people, trying to change them and try to grow them. And meanwhile, you're avoiding and ignoring your true A-players. And if you don't have them handcuffed to your company, somebody like me comes and poaches them. I love bringing A-players either into my team or into my clients' teams. I'd be careful right now because your A-player is thinking of quitting.
