One of the hardest lessons in leadership? Sometimes your best employee can become your biggest risk
In this short, informal talk the speaker reflects on a common leadership challenge: a high‑performing employee who is initially a favorite can later become a liability. He notes that such employees often stay for many years, get promoted from junior to senior or managerial roles, and may develop a toxic attitude once they feel secure or entitled. The speaker warns that favoritism and rapid promotion without careful cultural checks can turn a valuable team member into a risk for the organization, and suggests leaders need to monitor attitude changes and manage favorite employees with the same rigor as any other staff.
