Cy is set to destory the entire market of company-wide performance coaching. It's not a performance issue, it's a "that person creates drama, just get them out" issue. Well done!!!

This is so good! I’m gonna use this for evaluation

Top performers are usually exceptional at what they do! And, they do get snapped up by competitors. 3 to 4 seems insignificant but it is significant to business profits and industry expertise. Professions like medicine (surgery) and law- clients want the best of the best, not someone who is mediocre that gets along great in a team that gets to go up against these top performers. Clients obviously aren't privy to drama within compaies. I would rather train and manage these top perfomers for my company because the value is extraordinary!! Develop relationships with them, bring them into your vision - you'll be surprised how great it will be for your business.

0:34 l agree at that point. I recall Sir Alex Ferguson, a football manager for Manchester United who sometime lecture in the Harvard Business School on Management, said that "..you got to have a balance of superstars and your "steady quite professionals who get the job done".

The player that was his first choice was Steve Irwin, a defender who is quite gets his job very well. Whereas one of his Superstars was David Beckham. However Beckham had an ego issue and caused "darma" amoung the team ( because of celebrity ststus & his famous wife) which caused Ferguson to get rid of him.

Drama always done by people who have low performance.
Motto Low performance:' What would i do if i didn't play drama and it would be toxic in workplace? 😄😜

[chavitavb]

Wow lovely presentation, it’s great stuff to hear. It helps me think about my performance as a worker and growing so when I move on I’ll take these values I learned and be a professional that organizations need. I have a lot to think about. Is there a place where we can ask questions and your opinion ?

[patrickmoffa]

What about a toxic culture and a person cannot leave so as consequence are they blow up steam against a stupid bureautic system then what suppose that person do?

[hassaanpatterson]

I agree, but sometimes a complacent culture needs a little spice

[kayanoreeves]

This video is so weird because I get everything she is saying, but she looks just like 90% of all the terrible dramatic people I've ever encountered at work 😆 But yeah, her message is spot on, but it's like she's talking about herself!
