Mike Andes argues that high-performing employees dislike constant oversight ('check-ins') from owners/managers, which he characterizes as 'babysitting.' He promotes a pay-for-performance (P4P) approach where workers earn more the harder they work, aligning incentives so workers self-regulate to avoid making less money.

As an employee, if you're a high performer, the last thing you want is an owner always looking over your shoulder, inspecting what you're doing, rolling up on the job site, and just, like, checking in. Really, what they're doing is they're babysitting you. And on pay for performance, where the harder you work, the more money you make. They know that if you don't work hard, you'll make less money.
