Mike posted an update: “Just received a condescending email from a sales rep critiquing the grammar in my latest blog post. Found it amusing and it has me wondering if he’s a top-performer/A-Player. My guys says A-Players focus on results not the grammar in FREE blog posts.”

There seem to be no end of articles on who and how managers should invest their time in coaching. Many of the arguments go something like this: “Assume an A player is doing $250K, a B player is doing $150K. ” With that argument, we are all supposed to see that we should be investing in our A players.
