Hard to Handle: A High Performer Paradox

You’ve built a strong team. You’ve invested in top talent. So why does it still feel like everything’s at risk? Hard to Handle: A High Performer Paradox dives into the unseen challenges that even the best organizations face—the slow erosion of trust, morale, and results caused by brilliant employees who struggle with leadership. Through the powerful story of a rising star, a volatile boss, and a team on the brink, this book shows how small communication breakdowns snowball into full-blown culture rot. But it also offers hope. With real-world strategies rooted in DiSC communication styles and emotional intelligence, you’ll learn how to rebuild broken dynamics, coach difficult leaders without losing them, and turn a potential disaster into a powerful comeback. If you’ve ever worried that your company’s biggest threat isn’t external—but internal—this book is your blueprint. Because saving a high performer isn't just possible—it's transformational.
