Moment 142. Are Behaviours REALLY that important?

I’ve heard leaders at all levels say something like, “Marty, I have a staff member who’s a high performer, but their behaviour is just awful!”

If you relate to this, then in all likelihood you’re not actually dealing with a high performer: what you have, is a talented jerk!

If that talented jerk is in a leadership role, you should err on the side of intolerance, rather than allowing their bad attitude to permeate through the team.

If you want to go deeper on how to lead these difficult personalities, have a listen to Ep.240: The Talented Jerk.
