Even high-performing leaders can unknowingly lose their team. According to Forbes, many executives overestimate how connected, recognized, and supported their employees feel.
Common blind spots include:
Thinking a “thank you” covers months of burnout
Ignoring unspoken frustrations that fester
Over-relying on perks instead of addressing deeper culture issues
When trust erodes, top talent starts quietly disengaging, until they leave. Leadership audits and honest feedback loops can prevent this drain before it starts.
