In business, not all problems wear warning labels—some sneak in wearing smiles, enthusiasm, and the appearance of hustle. I’m talking about the most seductive trap for leaders: highly motivated mediocre talent.
These employees are energetic, loyal, and endlessly willing to “do.” They raise their hands, stay late, and volunteer for projects. On the surface, they seem like a dream. But scratch deeper, and you realize they’re not driving real results—they’re simply creating the mirage of progress.
The danger isn’t in their lack of effort. It’s in their ability to disguise mediocrity with activity. And too many leaders, desperate for visible engagement, fall for the trick. www.johngrubbs.com
