“I asked this executive team whether any of them had ever regretted removing a toxic high performer and what was quite amazing was that they not only emphatically said no, they couldn't believe they took so long to do so.”

In today’s minisode, I’m going to cover toxic high performers. These individuals can cause a lot of problems in your business, especially amongst other projects and colleagues, and you need a strategy to be able to deal with them.

A toxic person is someone who can bully, be mean to other people in the business, and are really difficult to deal with. They have all the power, or so they think, and very often, the executive team and the board assume that they are indispensable due to their performance and the outcomes they achieve.
