It's common for friction between groups of people to lead to the assumption of malicious intent when none exists. Directly identifying when this occurs and the ways to address its causes can help.
Really liked the ideas shared in your article.... surprisingly, with so many simple yet practical ideas the workplace friction is one of the major issues affecting business interests... However, (and correct me if I am wrong) in many companies, the CTOs actually (passively) support high performing workers which further escalate the issue. As someone with a rich experience in the field what are your thoughts on this (or this being a possibility)....
Great question and observation. This very topic came up in a coaching session today also.
Leaders who favor high performers are often limiting the growth of the high performers and those that need more experience and opportunity to develop for the sake of some short term certainty.
Companies committed to developing their talent do counter-intuitive things like encouraging people less experienced with a particular task to take those tasks on, knowing higher performers can support if needed.
