It costs 4x a top performer's salary to replace them.
And nearly half leave when under appreciated.

Top performers are 400% more productive.
It's in a company's best interest to be good to them.

But under appreciated doesn't just mean salary.
Sure, it's an important piece of it.
But they want to be treated well, too.

Because nobody is at their best when their environment doesn't make that a possibility.

Here's a roadmap to supporting high performers:

1. Pay them what they're worth
↳ Research market rates and proactively offer competitive compensation before they have to negotiate.

2. Ask for their input on big decisions
↳ Include them in strategic planning sessions and genuinely consider their recommendations when making decisions.

3. Celebrate wins their way
↳ Some prefer private recognition, others want team shoutouts - learn their preference and honor it.

4. Create space for their ideas to shine
↳ Actually ask for their thoughts and build on their suggestions.

5. Create growth opportunities
↳ Offer stretch assignments or cross-functional projects that match their interests.

6. Shield them from office politics
↳ Handle interpersonal conflicts yourself and don't let workplace negativity impact their productivity.

7. Welcome their honest feedback
↳ Listen to their suggestions and implement it (and explain why when you can't).

8. Give them flexibility
↳ Offer flexible hours or remote options when personal needs arise.

9. Give them space to recharge
↳ Watch for early warning signs and encourage time off before they reach their breaking point.

10. Show up when things get tough
↳ Provide resources and support during challenging projects or personal difficulties.

Top performers want to work hard for you.
Give them what they need to do it.

What else do you value as a top performer?

It’s better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room.

Owning that decision takes courage and it’s a powerful act of responsibility to yourself and those around you.

Staying in a role where you feel out of place often means forcing yourself to bridge a daily gap between who you are and what the organization expects. When the culture clashes with your values, it drains your energy and undermines your integrity.

You find yourself supporting leaders or systems you don’t believe in, and that dissonance shows up in performance, morale, and team cohesion.

Self-aware people take a different path. They assess the misalignment, take ownership, and choose to move in a direction that aligns with their values, while minimizing harm to others.

Admitting you walked through the wrong door isn’t failure, it’s the first step toward the right one.

The courage to leave is a gift. A better room awaits.
