Your highest performers run a pattern that reads as discipline and is actually trained self-betrayal. They suppress the signal, push past the limit, and deliver, right until they leave or crater. From the outside it looks like drive. In your retention data it looks like your safest people. This talk hands leaders a diagnostic for the override before it surfaces as attrition, and names the specific tells that precede a collapse by a year or more. Agenda: • Why high performance can hide burnout - 15 mins • The override diagnostic - 20 mins • Early warning signs before collapse - 15 mins • Leader actions that reduce override - 10 mins
