Oftentimes managers are quick to spot the top performers and spend majority of their time with them. But what about the employees who have the potential to become high potentials – aka the B players? “B” players often account for majority of an organization’s workforce, but they are often overlooked by management because they do not impact the bottom line as much as either a high or low performer would. During this discussion, Tom Gimbel, founder & CEO of LaSalle Network, will outline characteristics of a “B” player to help identify who they are within the organization, discuss their impact on the bottom line, and how to manage them effectively so they can eventually become A players.
