When Your Best Employee Might Leave | Slipping Superstar | Launch Point Leader Podcast

How do you respond when one of your top performers starts showing signs they might be ready to move on? In this episode of the Launch Point Leader Podcast, hosts Lori May and Beau Noblitt answer a letter from a listener who's noticing the subtle signals, like LinkedIn updates and offhand comments that suggest a key team member could be looking elsewhere.

They break down what high-achieving employees need most to stay engaged and explain why performance, recognition, and career growth are deeply linked. This episode is packed with honest insight about how to handle retention conversations, how to assess your leadership blind spots, and when to let someone go for the good of the team.

 

What You'll Learn:

✅ Why your lowest accepted standard sets the tone for high performers

✅ How to proactively support growth and uncover what your top talent actually wants

✅ When to stop negotiating and trust your team to rise up if someone leaves
