High Performer Showing Toxic Behaviour

difficult conversations

The Scenario

A high-performing engineer consistently delivers strong results but undermines others in meetings and creates tension within the team.

What to Do Next

  • Address it directly and privately with specific examples
  • Make expectations clear: performance includes how you work with others
  • Explain the team impact, not just the behaviour
  • Agree clear behaviour changes and follow up consistently
