High-Performing Employees Often Leave Companies at a Certain Stage

At a certain stage of a company’s growth, high-performing employees tend to leave because they have little tolerance for stupidity and can easily find other jobs. Low performers, on the other hand, tend to stay—they struggle to find other work, and over time, they rise into middle and senior management. Like the water in the Dead Sea evaporating, the good employees vanish, leaving behind a highly saline environment where normal talent can’t survive. #ReadingNotes#
