The Downside of Success? It Can Lead to Failure

Does success beget success? Not necessarily. In fact, success can hurt a winning team. In our research, we found that success comes with a trap: It can cause teams to rely more on their most influential members or stars—in other words, the hierarchy of the team becomes steeper.

Executives at some major companies have delivered a clear message to managers this summer: Identify the underperformers and show them the exit.
