The Impact of A Players and B Players in a Company
High performers significantly boost team productivity by 15% when their team sits next to them, while low performers decrease productivity by 30%. B players can drag down the performance of the entire team as energy and productivity are influenced negatively in their presence. It is crucial for CEOs to recognize the impact of underperformers not only on themselves but on the team as a whole. B players tend to linger in companies, feeling entitled and making it challenging to let them go. A players are likely to leave if B and C players persist, as the presence of underperformers can deter top performers from staying. Therefore, it is essential to either enhance the skills of underperformers or help them find a role where they can excel to prevent hindering the productivity and morale of the team.
