Your high performers don't want to be managed. They want autonomy, flexibility, and to be left alone. But you still need to develop them, give feedback, and keep them engaged. Here's the new playbook.In this episode, I break down why high performers resist management, what they actually need from you, and how to keep your best people challenged without driving them away.I cover:- Why "leave me alone" is about their history, not you- The difference between self-sufficient and self-directed- How your job shifts from managing work to managing environment- How to give feedback to people who don't think they need it- Why autonomy without development is neglect dressed up as trust- The real risk with high performers (hint: it's not failure)If you've got someone on your team who's crushing it but pushing back on oversight, this one's for you.
