Why Top Performers Walk
People don’t leave good pay — they leave the day-to-day experience of working for a leader.
It’s the constant second-guessing. The unclear priorities. The “always urgent” energy. The silence after you raise a concern. The feedback that never comes… until it’s too late.
Gallup found 1 in 2 employees have left a job at some point to get away from their manager.
MIT Sloan Management Review research on the Great Resignation found toxic culture was ~10x more predictive of attrition than compensation.
Compensation might get them in the door. Leadership is what makes them stay.
