Description

Disruptive employees can deliver results while quietly harming trust, morale, and performance. In this Best Boss episode, Diane Scott shares a practical three-step process leaders can use to turn disruption into constructive impact. Learn how to require full ownership, replace trigger-driven reactions with chosen responses, and repair relationships so culture and performance improve together.

What you will learn

  • How to spot subtle disruptive behaviors that erode psychological safety
  • When to coach instead of defaulting to termination
  • A three-step turnaround: ownership, triggers to responses, relationship repair
  • What leaders own versus what employees own
  • How early intervention protects culture and retention

Who this is for
 Executives, senior leaders, HR and talent leaders, and managers responsible for culture, retention, and team performance.
