Your top performers may be polishing their resumes right now, and the reason is not money or burnout. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy makes a counterintuitive case for leaders: your best people don't leave because standards are too high, they leave because you tolerate mediocrity around them. Contrasting a high-end restaurant with brutally clear standards against every other place in town, and pulling a lesson from Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman about playing for a coach who expected to win every game, Darren reframes what real leadership and accountability look like. This episode dives into his three-step formula for building a team of committed, excellence-driven people who actually want to be there.
