Imagine this...
You lead a small team, and one of your strongest employees has recently become noticeably quieter.
They still get their work done. They attend meetings. Nothing is technically “wrong.”
But they’ve stopped offering ideas, rarely speak unless asked, and seem less connected to the team.
You ask if everything is okay, and they smile and say:
“I'm fine. Just busy.”
🤔 What would you do next?
Would you let it go?
Ask another question?
Schedule a private conversation?
Watch and wait?
Try something completely different?
