Situation brief
Your strongest performer delivers excellent numbers but interrupts peers, rejects input and has been described as intimidating. Their contribution remains important.
Your role
Department manager accountable for team culture and results
Counterparty
Top performer whose dismissive behaviour is affecting colleagues
Objective
Address the behavioural impact directly while retaining engagement and setting clear expectations.
Constraints
Feedback must be evidence based and must not minimise impact because of strong results.
Evaluation criteria
Before you begin
Practise the judgement, wording and next-step discipline required in a realistic business conversation.
This is a practice environment. Respond naturally rather than trying to write a perfect textbook answer.
Write what you would actually say in the meeting. Specific examples, questions and commitments score better than theory.
After the roleplay, you will complete a short reflection and receive a score, transcript, feedback and action plan.
