Redirect.
One of the skills of a leader is to identify and redirect towards the Widget:
Time
Attention
Energy
Resources
Emotion
Starting with themselves, then those under the leader’s authority or influence.
A leader recognises a person’s potential (including their own) and that it may be misdirected.
Instead of suppressing or punishing the misdirected time, attention, energy, resources, or emotion, the leader redirects it.
Teachers do this routinely with their students.
