Employees Stuck in the Middle?
How to Transform the Average Joe into an Everyday Superhero

The terms "high performer" and "low performer" are firmly entrenched in the lexicon of talent management – and for good reason. High performers are your company's superheroes and the low performers are a constant management challenge. But what about employees that fall in "the middle"? What about the Average Joes?

Average Joes are usually middle managers, supervisors, technical experts, specialists and other skilled employees across an organisation.
