The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

ADVICE

Tree of Monkeys

  • Senior people in an organization ('at the top of the tree') often receive a distorted view of how their employees behave.
  • They may only see smiles and positive interactions.
  • This limited perspective can lead to inaccurate performance assessments and promotions based on superficial displays of respect or niceness rather than on genuine character and behavior towards colleagues.
  • People 'at the bottom', however, have a different perspective and can more readily see problematic behavior.
  • This phenomenon is called the "tree of monkeys".
