Many organisations stifle talented employees with bureaucracy and top-down control, leading to disengagement, wasted potential, and high turnover among their smartest people.

Most organisations waste their smartest people. Not because they lack skill—but because their environment makes thinking a liability.

People don’t need motivation. They need the ability to act. Yet, in so many companies, talent is squandered in meetings, reports, and waiting for permission that never comes.

The best employees don’t tolerate this forever. They leave. Or worse—they disengage.

If your best people aren’t driving change, it’s not because they don’t care. It’s because they’ve learned it doesn’t matter.
