Stop Treating These 3 Underperformers Like Protected Species
Description
How to spot (and stop) the koalas sabotaging your culture: nepotists, jerks, and ass-kissers.
In Australia, koalas are a protected species. When one of the leaders in our No Bullsh!t Leaders Club started talking about the “koalas” in his company, I knew exactly what he meant.
Working with koalas can be infuriating. They don’t play by the same rules, or observe the same cultural standards as everyone else. It’s almost as if they’re trying to see how far they can go before someone brings them into line.
And the more they get away with, the more emboldened they become.
In this episode, I explore three different breeds of koala:
- The founder’s nephew
- The talented jerk
- The ass-kisser
I give you some vital tips to deal with each breed, whether they work in your team, or they’re just an annoying peer you have to live with.
