Walking away has an energetic cost. When a key member of the team or a partner “checks out” emotionally long before they actually leave, they create an “Expectation Vacuum” that pulls the rest of the team’s focus away from the work.

The “Quiet Departure.” You see someone once pivotal becoming silent. They miss optional meetings and stop offering the “extra 5%.” Their physical presence is a shell of their former energy.
Contagious Disengagement. The ablation spreads. Others see the “Clean Break” and begin to wonder if they should also look for the exit. The organisation loses its centripetal force.
Condensing “Daydream Stalls” back into solid action requires a strategic filter. Order a customised Coherence Snapshot—an automated diagnostic delivered immediately—to indicate where excessive optionality is obstructing your present and future. This diagnostic forces a choice between “imagining work” and “doing work.”
