Conversation – Bad Apple

In a recent conversation with a friend, he was pointing out the main trouble with teams in the businesses he has been leading and the ones he help salvage.

The biggest problem with teams is the bad apples that are so frequent. “ The bad apples spoil the team. Healthy Team Dynamics is more important than top talent. There are many forms of bad apples that have the ability to destroy that team dynamic and energy.”
