Most of us have come across those who have very good sales or business results, but are not liked in the organization, who are a pain to their team, who cannot lead. In other words, those whose work outputs are good but whose competency-based evaluations are negative. Those who are told "I don't want to work with him/her", those whose Assessment Center results are negative.

Performance is not just numbers, of course, it is a whole: work outputs, behaviors, compliance with the organization's values, suggestions, recommendations, relationships with teammates...

While having a session on this subject the other day, Jack Welch's assessment of the 4 Types of Managers came to my mind.

For Type 1, “the sky’s the limit!” He said.

Type 2 “should be given a chance, once or twice.”

Type 3 “going”, I add “should go”.

Type 4 is the most difficult. A manager who does not carry values ​​but keeps the numbers. Welch stated that it is necessary to part ways with this type of manager. Institutions want to continue on their way with employees who keep the numbers and bring results/material gain. Welch emphasized that these types of managers have the power to change the corporate culture, that they can damage the informal system based on openness and trust, and that no concessions should be made. I call this type “the insidious cancer cell of the organization”. It harms its surroundings, spreads, and sometimes kills.
