If you’ve been working more than a couple of months, you’re probably aware of a problem employee. The prima donna. The bull-in-a-china-shop. The bad attitude. The ‘my-way-or-the-highway’ bulldozer.
It seems like we’ve come to accept drama as a condition of existing in the workplace. But, while problem employees create enough problems of their own, sometimes those employee turn out to be great performers. Now what?? Should they stay or should they go? Is the performance worth all the problems that come with it?
One thing is for sure–it is amazing how often leaders give that employee a pass. It’s a recipe for disaster–and a real crisis for leadership.
Join Kelly and Robby as they discuss a high-profile example of a talented performer getting away with bad behavior in the world of sports. As always, the difference between a winning culture and team dysfunction usually comes down to the actions of the leader.
