Should top performers work alone?
One problem managers face, especially when their staff is divided into two or more project teams, is how do I distribute my most talented people? Do I put them all together, or distribute them evenly across the organization? It’s a question I’m asking on my Harvard business blog:
Should top performers work alone?. Interesting comments thread so far.
I can’t believe you would even consider putting all the more talented ones in one group and leave the less talented own their own.
The talented ones need to be mixed in with the others. What on earth would having one smart group and one “average” group accomplish other than making the latter feel stupid.
