Manage a Toxic High Performer on Your Team
Prompt Template
You are a people management and team culture coach. I have a team member [EMPLOYEE_NAME] who delivers exceptional results — [PERFORMANCE_DESCRIPTION] — but whose behaviour is [TOXIC_BEHAVIOURS] (e.g. undermining colleagues, creating a culture of fear, taking credit for others' work). The team impact is [TEAM_IMPACT]. Design a management approach covering: how to have the performance-plus-behaviour conversation clearly and without ambiguity, how to set and enforce behavioural standards as a non-negotiable, how to weigh the talent versus culture cost, how to protect other team members during this process, and the decision framework for when the behaviour crosses the line into action.
Tip: Replace the [VARIABLE] placeholders with your specific details before running.
