321 - Dealing With a Toxic Top Producer

The toxic top producer will destroy your team faster than anybody else. When you have a top producing team member that's treating other people in a negative way and you don't stop it happening, you're telling your team firstly, it's acceptable behavior and, secondly, if you are a top performer it's okay to be a jerk. This will destroy trust amongst you and your team and rob you of momentum. You cannot leave a person in place who is working against you and your culture.
