This chapter explores the challenges of managing unconventional employees whose strong results can create friction within teams. It emphasizes the need to balance diverse working styles with team harmony, focusing on the distinction between disruptive yet high-performing individuals and those who genuinely support team success.
On a new episode of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss a specific type of employee--the people who aren't toxic to an organizational culture, but they also don't conform to people's expectations and are often the first to go against the grain. However, these people often have a key benefit--when they go against conventional wisdom, they are right more often than they're wrong. Robert shares why these employees are essential to any organization, how leaders should hire, support and leverage these people, and more.
