Love it, love the spite, but you will actually legitimately lose people who don't want to join a cult. If you wouldn't drive me to the airport for free, then we're not family, sorry. Save that term for, like... people who aren't paid to spend time with you.
I don't need constant feedback, I mostly need to be left alone to do the actual work. Problem is, the Cult of Agile gets nervous by the third daily standup where you just say you're still working on the same thing, because everyone knows no programming activity ever takes more than a large t-shirt's worth of days, however many that is.
I was asked to estimate a major project after a month of onboarding and such, and despite being lied to that the deadline was flexible, management decided the estimate was a suicide pact. Best part is: we all got laid off right as we finished up most of the work.

But first, we have to argue about our own individual interpretations of what a "high performer is", and then justify our belief that it is every single one of us, because-
This won't go over well here, but: we might have to dismantle a lot of the economy if we want to fix draining overproducers until you can discard them...
I can tell you've never been reprimanded for being a blocker, when management sides with the people asking ridiculous learned helplessness questions, instead of learning how to help themselves. Bully for you, but just be aware that not everyone works for people this understanding.
