The people who need the most attention give you the least results. They drain your energy. They ask the most questions. They require the most hand-holding. And at the end of the day, they deliver the least. Meanwhile, your top performers are quiet. Consistent. Self-sufficient. And you're ignoring them because they're not squeaky wheels. Flip it. Invest your time in the people who are already producing. In the ones who don't need you to manage them. In the ones who are raising the standard. Those are the people who Will carry your vision forward. Not the ones who need constant reassurance. Your attention is the most valuable thing you have. Stop giving it to people who aren't earning it. Reward performance. Reward ownership. Reward people who make your job easier, not harder. That's how you build a team that lasts.
