Ever wonder why your best employee just handed in their two weeks notice without warning, while that person who drives everyone crazy is still hanging around?

Join host Jason Stonehouse and management expert Nick Agnoli as they tackle the real-world challenge every leader faces: keeping your top 10% performing at their peak while dealing with that 80% who do just enough to get by.

This isn't your typical leadership fluff. Nick breaks down why high performers often get ignored (spoiler: they're not on autopilot), reveals the hidden danger of rewarding great work with more work, and shares practical, non-monetary ways to keep your stars engaged when raises aren't an option. Plus, discover how to handle that team member who technically does their job but makes everyone else brace for impact.

You'll walk away with specific questions to ask in one-on-ones, strategies for creating advancement without building an exclusive inner circle, and Nick's game-changing concept of "negative work" that every manager needs to understand.
