Hi Will,

Great post! I think you're point on failing to drop non-performing assets is a critical one. All too often I see leaders that accept poor performance in one area for excellent performance in another.  When they look the other way and ignore the poor performance they are actually endorsing it and others will follow suit.  This creates an unnecessary chain reaction.  Correcting performance isn't a bad thing.  It's actually what a leader does when they want to keep the employee.  Not a addressing a performance issue certainly doesn't help the employee, the team or the company overall.
