It has been said that people are your greatest resource – and it’s true. Great organizations are made up of great people. It is also true, however, that:
- One non-performer can lower the standards of performance for everyone
- One bad actor can affect the morale of those around him
- One disruptive character can make life miserable for those who work with her and especially for you
- Who takes up more of your time than any other employees?
- Who keeps you awake at night, wondering what they’ll do next?
- Who distracts you and your team from its mission?
- Who do you wish would “get with the program?”
- Who do you wish would just “go away?”
