Managing High Performers and Silent Defectors: Elevating the Best and Supporting the Rest
Presented By:JenniferBouman-Steagall, J.D. Red Kite Employment Law
Does your team have a combination of standout employees who consistently go above and beyond and others who struggle to contribute or are disengaging? Both types of team members create unique challenges for leaders and require different levels of coaching, mentorship, and performance management. Being able to recognize when and how best to support your team is the key. In this engaging and informative session, we’ll explore how to keep high performers motivated and challenged, while effectively managing employees who may struggle to find their place within the team or the organization’s culture. You’ll walk away with clear, practical strategies to help leaders recognize and grow top talent, address performance and behavior issues early on for those who are less successful, and create a more balanced, accountable team environment. This session is full of real-world insights, useful takeaways, and one or two unexpected ideas you can put to work right away.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify what high performers need to stay engaged, challenged, and committed to the team.
2. Recognize the risks of avoiding performance or behavior issues and learn how to address them early and effectively.
3. Support managers in having clear, confident conversations with both high achievers and struggling employees.
4. Spot common leadership and legal pitfalls when dealing with team dynamics, favoritism, or inconsistent accountability.
5. Apply simple, practical approaches to create more balanced, high-functioning teams across different roles and personalities.
