Past Webinar: Managing Talented People With Bad Attitudes

This event is now past. To purchase a recording of this program contact Nicole Jordan, VP of Business Development, via email at nicole@leadershipiq.com

It would be nice if all talented people had great attitudes. But unfortunately, sometimes our most skilled people can be arrogant, narcissistic, dramatic or negative. And that’s why we call them Talented Terrors (aka talented people with bad attitudes).

Talented Terrors are the employees who have all the skills you want, but an attitude that drains your energy and hurts your team. Not only do these folks make your life difficult, but they can have a toxic influence on your other employees, make you look ineffective as a leader, and chase away the high performers that actually have good attitudes. But they also have lots of political clout and a track record of very good technical performance.

This 60-minute teleconference and webinar called “Managing Talented People With Bad Attitudes” will show you:

  • How to hold people accountable for bad attitudes even when their technical skills are fine
  • 6 rules that force talented terrors into compliance
  • Help Talented Terrors understand that their attitude is really a problem
  • Keep total control of conversations with Talented Terrors without letting it get off track
  • 3 sentences to say when your Talented Terror is a colleague (not a subordinate)
  • 4 part script for Talented Terrors that just refuse to change, no matter what you do or say, even if it means their job
  • How to put attitude evaluations into your performance appraisal and disciplinary processes
