Shifting the Monkey: The Art of Protecting Good from Liars, Criers, and Other Slackers by Todd Whitaker
2.0
This book has a good thesis, but is another in the long line of business books that could have been 1/5 the length. That is, it didn’t need to be a book.
It’s also lack nuance. Not all poor performing employees and liars, criers, and slackers. This book over simplifies with half-baked anecdotes and strips nuance from the employee-manager relationship.
All that is to say, the premise of making sure you aren’t punishing your high-achievers because of the shortcoming of low-achievers is good.
