460. AMMA — Why Your Top Talent is Secretly Quitting You
The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael MogillShow Notes
If your top performers are walking out the door and you never saw it coming, the problem isn't them.
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three listener questions that all point back to the same problem: what you are not seeing is shaping your outcomes. They talk through why high performers often leave without giving real feedback, how to approach self-awareness without getting lost in endless "work on yourself" loops, and what promotions look like in a results-driven environment.
Here's what you'll learn:
Why employees often avoid direct feedback on leadership issues, and how to reduce regrettable turnover
How to spot patterns in your behavior through journaling, weekly reviews, and trusted outside feedback
Why promotions follow measurable output, not visibility and long hours, and how to become undeniable
If you want better outcomes, take a hard look at the habits and assumptions you treat as normal.
