The "key person" risk you're not thinking about
Every organization worries about key person risk.
“What happens if our star leader leaves?”
But you’re asking the wrong question.
The real risk isn't the leader who leaves.
It's the star leader who stays while being mentally, emotionally, and spiritually checked out.
They're physically present in meetings.
But their mind is elsewhere.
They're going through the process.
But the passion is gone.
They're maintaining the status quo instead of driving innovation.
This leader is creating a silent drag on your entire organization.
Capping the potential of their team and signaling that just getting by is acceptable.
And that silent drag shows up in your quarterly reports.
A culture of just getting by leads to lower engagement, which directly correlates to decreased productivity and profitability.
A leader who only maintains the status quo is actively ceding market share to more innovative competitors.
Worse, your most ambitious A-players on their team will be the first to leave.
Seeking an environment where they can actually grow.
Coaching helps leaders reconnect with their why.
It's a space to reignite their purpose and bring their full, energized self back to the table.
It helps them find the courage to make a change.
And the organization wins.
Don't let your best leaders check out while they're still checked in.
