You're losing your top talent—
and if you're honest, it might be on you.
When people are still speaking up—offering ideas, raising concerns, even venting frustrations—that’s not a bad thing. It means they still care. They haven’t given up.
But when things go quiet?
- That’s not peace.
- That’s detachment.
Disengagement. A sign they’ve already started to mentally move on.
Leaders, here’s the real test:
Don’t just listen to what’s being said.
Start noticing what isn’t.
If the energy’s gone and the room feels empty—even when it’s full—
it’s time to ask the tough questions.
And be ready for the honest answers.
What’s your take—have you seen this happen?
The worst emotion to be directed one's way is not hate, but apathy!
Exactly.
Hate at least acknowledges your existence—apathy just erases you.
It’s a silent kind of cruelty that leaves no room for closure.
