Attracting top talent requires leaders to be highly intentional in how they treat the culture. Nothing will de-motivate a great employee faster than tolerating a bad employee. When leaders don't deal with a toxic employee, it tears down to trust and causing uncertainty in the great employees. Tolerating a bad employee often comes down to not confronting their behaviors soon enough. For some CEOs, it is making a conscious choice that a bad employee is too valuable in their work or results to "rock the boat." Let me share some wisdom about tolerating a bad employee from my years of coaching founders of fast-growth companies. Letting lousy employees get away with things is a quick way to crush the motivation of the other employees.
