When we speak of performance, we think of both an individual’s will and their skill. Do the members of our teams have the desire to do their best work and continue to get better? Today, we focus on the tremendous impact we can have on organizations when we have strong will or fire in our belly. 

This episode addresses questions, such as: 

• What does it mean to have a ‘fire in the belly’? 
• What do I do with a high performer who poisons the work environment with negativity?  
• What is more important than passion?   

The Fire in the Belly is the second episode in a series of episodes describing the performance curve and performance conversations, beginning with Ep. #16 High Performers: Who Are They?.
