MBL Minute: Competition For Talent And Barrel Of Apples
Episode Notes
Research has shown it typically takes an IQ of 110-120 to get an
advanced college degree. Up until now most companies have
focused on an individual’s ability to do intellectual labor.
As a result there is little variation within an organization in
intellectual ability at the executive level. Further, there
has been little or no consideration given to an individual’s level
of authenticity and emotional intelligence. So there is a
much wider range of variation in authenticity and emotional
intelligence among executives and other employees within an
organization.
“One bad apple can spoil a barrel but one good egg does not make a dozen.”
It is much easier to remove toxic individuals from an organization although most people have the ability to change their behavior if they are motivated to do the work required. Unfortunately toxic individuals often use their position based power to create drama, chaos and conflict within their organizations. The results of this type of behavior and the culture it creates has become too costly to tolerate.
