In any organisation, getting the best out of the average
performers is useful, but hardly a major challenge. It’s getting consistent, peak
performance out of the brilliant ones that is the real test.
So often that test is compounded by the fact that the really
outstanding ones come with considerable baggage. They can be moody, imperious,
changeable, demanding, self-centred (and self-important), aggressive…
That’s why leaders are paid lots and take on the responsibility.
Turfing out the difficult bastards is only appropriate if they lack talent.
