Mark Murphy’s mentoring series is all about uncovering the most important secrets of effective leadership. He and Fran discussed common misconceptions about leadership, like why it’s not motivational speaking, as well as the power of early detection.

In this session, Mark discusses the danger of talented terrors: people who look like high producers but don’t fit in with your company culture and have a negative impact on the organization as a whole. The positive surface numbers might be masking problems in many aspects of the business. A positive culture doesn’t mean positive thinking, Mark says, but a truly positive culture is a winning recipe for everyone.
