Episode #240 // We’ve all come across people during our careers who are really good at what they do, but are just awful to work with. They seem to think that their superior performance gives them the license to behave in any manner they see fit, and they don’t observe the usual social protocols that are essential in maintaining a stable team.Talented jerks come in many different shapes and sizes: there’s no one-size-fits-all description of how they show up in a team. Some are just terminally annoying, and you feel as though you want to roll your eyes every time they talk. Others are willfully destructive, and appear to be pushing the company’s leadership to see just how far they’ll be allowed to go before they’re brought into line.Today’s episode is pretty simple: I identify five common types of talented jerk, and give you some ideas for how to approach each situation so that you remain in control, and neutralize their impact on team culture.————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?
