Plain ole inertia is a powerful force.
Some people simply would rather keep doing what they’re doing than go find something new and different. The devil you know…
At first blush, you might be thinking, “Yeah, but if that’s why that person is staying, they’re probably not that good and they’re not the one we want to stay.”
But I’ve found that’s not always true, or even mostly true. Inertia is strong and may be in place for many reasons unrelated to the work itself.
Can you use inertia to your benefit?
