Why do leaders need to address toxic behavior immediately? Because negative behavior drags the entire organization down. 66% of employees who deal with a toxic team member said their performance declined in a recent HBR Study. In this episode, we reveal an approach you can use to support low-solid performers, the 8 types of toxic employees, and 4 steps to dealing with toxic employees. 

This episode addresses questions, such as:

• How can we support a low-solid performer to help them move up the performance curve? 
• How do we have difficult conversations with toxic employees?
• What can we do with low performing employees who don’t change their behavior? 

 
 Addressing Poor Performance  is the final episode in a series describing the performance curve and performance conversations, beginning with Ep. #16 High Performers: Who Are They?.
