You can hold off on using the "card system" on the super-talented employee, but once you begin to use it on this person, there is no going back. It's one thing for exceptions to be made, but boundaries need to be respected as well.

Sure, clear boundaries need to be set and maintained. Of course, there could be exceptions. But there must be integrity too. So that delicate balance should be there

If you have a Picasso or Bruce Lee or Mbappe or Messi working for you, you don't treat that person like a Homer Simpson. But that person has to respect you as the business owner. When the respect is mutual, things can be worked out.

No better way to say it. I guess you watch football to be able to mention these names. Cool

I stopped watching sports a few years ago. Messi was transferred to North America, and he's 1 O D best players of his generation; he's not Pele-class, but no 1 is & no 1 else was. Mbappe's name is all over the place in ads & in stores.
