In today's episode, Tiffany and Robert discuss the fourth Deadly Leadership Sin: Sloth.

In an organization, Sloth looks like taking the path of least resistance. We are not saying "Leaders are Lazy" or lack professional will. Rather, as leaders, we tend to default to praising and rewarding our high performing superstars while simultaneously ignoring our poor performers or toxic employees.

Data suggests that the toxic employees are more damaging to your organization than superstar employees are helpful. In human interactions, repelling forces are always more powerful than forces of attraction.

The remedy here is simple to understand but difficult to implement. First, is to set ground rules on the team, that everyone contributes to and agrees on. Next is to provide feedback (positive and negative) when behaviors misalign with those ground rules. As a leader, setting the example, communicating the ground rules, and providing regular, consistent, and timely feedback is critical to avoid Organizational Sloth.
