Who on your team has quietly become the person your organization can’t afford to lose? 🤔
When positions stay open, or workloads keep growing, the work still has to go somewhere. And very often, it lands with the people who have already proven they can handle the most.
They take on another responsibility, become the person others turn to for answers, fill gaps that were never meant to be permanent, and make sure the work gets done because they know how much the team depends on them.
As important knowledge, relationships, decisions, and responsibilities become concentrated around a few people, the organization becomes increasingly vulnerable if one of them is unavailable or leaves.
Redistributing the load means reducing that dependence through clearer ownership and developing others to carry more responsibility.
