Key Attributes of High Performing Employees

High performing employees often comprise 10% of a company's workforce and add significant value, while the remaining 90% need to be managed properly to prevent detrimental impacts. It is challenging to scale with only high performers as they usually seek substantial equity and may pursue starting their own ventures. Successful employees are characterized by three attributes: being predominantly women due to advanced prefrontal cortex development, engaging in competitive sports like individual sports, and graduating from elite universities. These attributes, although unconventional, were found to be common among top performers who drove the success of the organization.
