How do you lead someone who’s coasting on past wins while the rest of the team is charging ahead? In this episode of the Launch Point Leader Podcast, hosts Lori May and Beau Noblitt respond to a listener letter from Stagnant Success, who’s struggling with a veteran team member who’s lost momentum.
This team member has years of experience and a history of big wins, but lately, they’re disengaged, resistant to change, and relying too much on their past contributions. Lori and Beau unpack how to approach this kind of leadership tension with respect, clarity, and honest communication, without undermining a valued relationship.
Whether you’re managing a seasoned employee, navigating team dynamics, or trying to reignite someone’s drive, this episode gives you the framework to move forward with empathy and accountability.
What You'll Learn:
✅ Why acknowledging past success is key to re-engaging longtime team members
✅ How to approach difficult one-on-one conversations without creating tension
✅ What to do when someone’s mindset is holding back momentum
