| Abstract: | It's hardly surprising that companies have invested a lot of resources in hiring and retaining star performers. But our understandable fascination with star performers can lure us into the dangerous trap of underestimating the vital importance of the supporting actors. It is true that A players can make enormous contributions to corporate performance. Yet in our collective 20 years of consulting, research, and teaching, it is found that companies' long-term performance, even survival, depends far more on the unsung commitment and contributions of their B players. These capable, steady performers are the best supporting actors of the business world. |
