Why High Performers Sometimes Leave Organizations

ABOUT THE EPISODE Wharton Professor Maurice Schweitzer discusses how organizations manage high-performing employees who come into conflict with senior leadership. Using examples from both the corporate world and professional sports, he highlights how personality differences and power dynamics can lead to the departure of valuable individuals. He also examines what often happens after such departures and why internal processes may not be sufficient to resolve conflicts at the highest levels.
