𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹.

As teams scale, underperformance gets harder to diagnose.

Some people need coaching. 

Some need clarity. 

Some are simply in the wrong role.

The fastest way to cut through the noise? 

The 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹/𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘅.

🧠 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 → Grow them 

🧠 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 → Coach them 

🧠 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 → Challenge or reset them 

🧠 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 → Move on

Most managers wait too long — hoping one quadrant will magically become another.

It won’t.
