What do you do with a team member who drains morale, dodges accountability, and quietly destabilizes everything you’re trying to build—but you *can’t* just fire them? In this episode, we unpack what to do with employees who might be productive on paper… but are clearly a poor culture fit. Whether they create tension, resist feedback, or just don’t align with how your team operates, these people slowly erode trust, morale, and cohesion.

“If you want me to do more, pay me more.” We hear it all the time. But here’s the problem: most people aren’t even good at what they’re already being paid to do.

In this episode, we break down the entitlement mindset that says effort should follow reward, instead of the other way around. We explore what it really means to earn trust, expand your role, and lead with excellence before asking for more.
