A LinkedIn report says 58% of employees feel underutilized. That’s more than half of your team wondering if they could be doing more somewhere else.

In this episode of The New Manager Playbook, I breaks down:

  • Why underutilization is a hidden driver of burnout and turnover
  • The signs your high performers are already feeling it
  • How to address it without overloading your team

You’ll also hear my own stories of being overlooked for stretch opportunities, and why those were the same moments I started looking for a new job.

If you want to keep your best people, it’s time to learn how to see and use their full potential.
