High performers quit when accountability is missing, not low performers. They thrive on clear standards and don't want to carry underperformers. Leaders need to establish accountability fast or lose their best people.

One of the things I would encourage you to know, just to motivate you to keep pressing into this, is the people that you are actually the most likely to lose as a result of this is actually not that guy. It's actually some of your higher performers, because your higher performers are not going to want to sit around and wait and see how long it takes for accountability to exist, right? They like accountability, they like high standards, and they do not like working with lower performers.
