Talented jerks and people who game the system just need to go.

The value they bring through their technical skill is massively outweighed by the damage they do to the rest of the team.

You can't motivate them.

You can't inspire them.

You can't lift them. So stop trying!

Because while you hold onto the person destroying your culture, your good people are quietly working out that there's an easier way to earn a living somewhere else.

In this Q&A episode we cover:

• The two-question rule for dealing with someone who's too good to lose but too toxic to keep
• Why PIPs, pay rises, and pep talks keep failing on the same person, and the one thing that actually shifts the behaviour
• How to hold a subcontractor accountable without the accountability sliding straight back onto you
• The trap of being a control freak when the work goes remote, and the fix
• How to manage a system gamer in a place where performance management is almost impossible to pull off
• Why redundancy and performance management are not the same thing
• The move to make before you act on any problem person, so the real problem in the building never becomes you
