B players — those “good enough” team members who aren’t bad enough to fire — can drain morale, burn out your top talent, and slowly erode your culture.

In this episode, I share a real behind-the-scenes story from Dance Motion Marketing about how one B player was creating chaos for our A players… and the hard decision we made to protect our team.

You’ll learn:

• Why fit beats skill every time when hiring
