A simple mental test many experienced leaders use:
"If this person resigns tomorrow, would I fight to keep them?"
It’s a question many leaders rarely stop to ask.
Some employees are loyal.
Some employees are good at their job.
But being “good” is not always enough.
Many good employees are still highly replaceable.
So the real leadership question becomes:
What qualities make a leader actually want to fight to keep someone in the company?
What kind of employee creates so much value, ownership, and impact that losing them would genuinely weaken the organization?
And imagine this for a moment:
What would happen if every employee in your company developed those traits?
That’s when a company stops running on supervision…
and starts running on initiative, ownership, and leadership at every level.
