Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The project is wrapping and everyone’s just drifting off to the next thing with no acknowledgment of what we built together
• I’m putting together something people will walk away from
• I keep abandoning things the moment it’s clear I won’t personally see them pay off, and I want to be able to pour myself into something that matters even knowing I’ll be long gone before it’s finished.
• I finish what someone asked for and just move on without telling them, and then they ping me "did you get to that yet?"
• We’re about to kick this off and everyone’s upbeat, but I have a quiet feeling there are ways this falls apart that nobody wants to say out loud while we’re all still excited.
