Day 64: How to Spot a Team Member Who’s Holding Back Growth

Sometimes the problem isn’t marketing.
Or pricing.
Or even your systems.

Sometimes, it’s a team member who’s quietly holding the brand back.

And if you’re not looking closely, you’ll miss the signs—until it’s too late.

What’s not working:

  • One person avoids rebooking, upselling, or learning

  • Negative energy spreads across the team

  • They push back on new systems or structure

  • Their clients love them—but the numbers don’t lie

What you’re looking for:

✅ A team that wants to grow—not just coast
✅ Alignment with your vision, not quiet resistance
✅ Numbers that reflect effort, skill, and potential
✅ A culture where growth is expected, not optional
✅ Less emotional drag—and more performance

How to spot the drag:

  1. Track rebook rates and retail numbers.
    Not to punish—to diagnose.

  2. Watch body language in meetings.
    Energy doesn’t lie.

  3. Listen to how they talk about change.
    Is it “let’s try” or “that won’t work”?

  4. Ask yourself: Would I hire them again today?
    If not, why are they still here?

How we help:

We help brands build Accountability Cultures that:

  • Surface performance problems without drama

  • Create clarity around what’s expected and why

  • Develop (or exit) team members based on data

  • Protect your momentum—and your vision

One brand held onto the wrong stylist for 9 months.
When they made the move, rebook rates jumped and team energy came back.
The growth had been there all along—it was just blocked.

Next Step:

If one person is holding back the whole team,
you’re not being “nice”—you’re being negligent.

Let’s bring clarity, accountability, and forward motion.
