Superstar’s Lament

We all have that one person on our team that is always getting it done. The work they do is unparalleled. They see through the trees to get to the forest. They read a short blog and know what to do. Where they start is where others give up. But the worst part of being a Superstar? Is that we constantly overload them. We keep giving them more work to do.

Growth Transition

It’s great to watch your team grow and develop. Skills they didn’t know before, they are now handling with ease. Projects and work that you thought was impossible for them to take on they are now doing with ease. The goals you have set for them they knock down without even trying. Now it’s time to transition into something different. Read: Not give them more of the same thing or an incremental growth but to give them something that levels up their skill set for growth. Some will shy away because this represents too much change when they were just
