Most CEOs have worked with or supervised a “diva” (women) or “divo” (men): someone who performs at a high level but whose toxic behavior makes them untrusted by their peers or subordinates. Simon Sinek in his book “Leaders Eat Last” discusses what he learned about the “trust versus performance trade-off” from one of the highest performing organizations in the world: the Navy Seals.  

I hope you’ll make time for this compelling three minute video that explores a challenge every CEO has or will faceThe Trust vs Performance Problem. If not, Mr. Sinek warns you may be “bonusing toxicity.”
