We were always grinding, we didn’t remain where we started, we became hungrier! But as a leader there was so much I could give at this stage. I didn’t have enough to feed our hungry talents, I lacked management skills to keep the over talented people with the team. So when people who wanted more wanted to leave, they left and I was happy! Because I knew it will be nice to keep them but deep down I no longer have cubs but lions now, the appetite is different, so its ok when they leave, until I have what it takes to feed a pride! Until then I just maintain my nursery!

When I was a leader of a band, people who were hungry for more than what I could afford, they didn’t stay too long and were dissatisfied with my status-quo, so it was better for us to part ways!

One thing you learn in being a leader is knowing you can't have everyone on your team, or you just can't keep some people for so long! Ask yourself if you can lead them before you decide to work with them, they may be good, fit your work culture and be productive but can you feed their thirst?
