Liz Wiseman, CEO of The Wiseman Group and author of Multipliers, argues that many leaders unintentionally diminish their best people by over-relying on them. She pointed out that high performers often become the go-to problem-solvers but are rarely stretched in new ways. Without meaningful growth, even the most capable team members start to look elsewhere. Her insight reinforces the importance of pairing challenge with growth.
