How do you deal with an executive that is underperforming? Executives are the most impactful and important roles in your company.  Weak executives create weak teams, which start to rot the company from the inside out. Sometimes we have good people who we trust, but they perform at a B level. They score high on the core values but score low on productivity. These people can be difficult to deal with, and exceptionally difficult to deal with if it's a CEO dealing with a B performer executive.  This week we talk about stories we've seen where leaders have dealt with a B player executive well and stories where they haven't dealt with it well. Also, we explain how to deal with this situation.    ----- * Do you love The Growth Whisperers and want to see our smiling faces? Subscribe to our YouTube channel. * Do you enjoy our content?
