Takeaways
- The talent pool in a large organization tends to converge to the crappiest person with the title.
- Crappy people can be individuals who are generally bad at everything or those who were once good but have become crappy at their job over time.
- Dealing with crappy people requires finding ways to treat them with dignity and utilize their strengths in a different role within the organization.
- Creating opportunities for horizontal moves within an organization can help retain good people who may have reached their limit in vertical growth.
- Leadership plays a crucial role in creating an environment that embraces flexibility and allows for resets and changes when necessary.
