Inspiring High Performance and Retaining Your Best People

And while all that is happening? Some team members just get on with the job. Without them, there would be even more problems. As the manager, you know that and appreciate them. You’re just so busy–so exhausted–that you forget to focus on them.

When managers get too busy:

• Solid performers stagnate. They stop improving and don’t reach their potential
• Good performers become complacent. After all, no-one is pushing them to keep improving
• High performers get stale. They get sick of the grind, coming to work every day doing the same thing without a challenge to keep them motivated
• Your best people look for new opportunities and challenges, often outside the team
