We talk a lot about underperformance — coaching the struggling rep, fixing what's broken, and trying to pull people up. But what if the real risk to your team isn’t at the bottom... it’s at the top?

In this episode of The Egoless Leader, we dive into the psychology behind why top performers often get ignored, what’s really at stake when they’re not challenged, and how leaders can coach high achievers without killing the vibe or inflating the ego.

We’ll explore why high performers aren’t as self-sustaining as we think, how their minds operate in the tension between mastery and boredom, and what it really takes to keep them growing, loyal, and fully engaged.

If you lead people — especially the best ones — this episode might just change how you show up.
