“The final relationship that cannot be ignored is with disrupters:

They are individuals who cause trouble for sport - inciting opposition
to management for a variety of reasons, most of them petty.

Usually these people have good performance - that's their cover - and so
they are endured or appeased.


A company that manages people well takes disrupters head-on.

First they give them very tough evaluations, naming their bad behaviour
and demanding it change.

If that's the case, get them out of the way of people trying to do their
jobs.

They're poison.
