Do you have a “good guy, but…” on your team? They’re smart, hardworking, maybe even a top producer—but they gossip, interrupt, or stir up conflict. You know it. Your team knows it. And yet, you hesitate to act.
In this episode of Shedding the Corporate Bitch, Bernadette Boas exposes the hidden cost of excusing a good guy, but..., even when it comes from your most likable or high-performing team members.
You’ll learn:
- Why the “good guy, but…” mentality sabotages trust, culture, and results
- The personal fears and biases that keep leaders from acting
- How one person’s bad behavior spreads like wildfire across a team
- Six practical steps to spot, address, and resolve these issues early
