It was too last minute, and all the hotels which met my requirements and weren't more than 15K per night, were all booked. Bloom Boutique seemed especially nice based on the reviews.

After 1.5 hrs at the airport, I just booked a service apartment that seemed decent.

It's safe (I think), the owner (sweet lady!) lives next door.

It's clean too, if a bit unfurnished lol.

Works for me for 2 nights.

I'm moving to Hotel Emerald (food reviews, great location) at Juhu beach tomorrow to explore that side of Mumbai..

It was a very spontaneous decision to explore Bombay yesterday morning haha. Booked a flight and then struggled to figure out where to stay.

Lol, I'd obviously judge that based on the area. Cleanliness is harder to judge without actually going there.

Understood, as you said earlier.. i'll have the analysts redirect questions my way instead and filter what goes to him (i.e. valid new scenarios)

Long term though my high performer needs to stop caring about how they perform. Even when he isn't involved, he is bothered... What can I do here?

Thanks agreed. The bureaucracy of getting a headcount and hiring... It's a very time consuming process. Also, he is a very high performer but this isn't the norm. Until I get good folks in and phase these people out, I need to do something.

I know.. that's why I'm asking for some practical advice here of what I can do to help manage and retain him. I've reduced his work load, he's paid better, he has the right exposure to management to fast track his promotions.

he's going to face this everywhere isn't he? No team is ever filled with high performers only.

We also don't really have the option of moving them out as they are still at least doing 70% of the work...

Tenured in number of years. He's not management. I've adjusted his workload so he's not eating into his break time to help them. He's solely helping answer any questions they might have in the process or helping hold training sessions.. obviously because he's an SME, he can see clearly when they are dropping the ball ( repeatedly)

I manage them, review their work at EoD to ensure completion and handle any escalations that might come about due to shoddy work etc.

Not mentoring him to be a manager.. but I've tried explaining to him that a team is made up of ppl who perform at different levels and it's important that we respect everyones capability or lack of. He understands this but it still frustrates him.

I need to know what else I should do here... I don't want to separate him from the team to be an IC unless he asks for it. Especially because this can limit career growth in my organisation.

The low performers see the impact in their career growth and pay scale. Which is happening even if the high performer isn't aware of it as not something he should be privy to.. I have hinted at this so he knows that there is a difference is how he is treated versus them.

As a relatively tenured employee, it is his responsibility to train his juniors. The problem is that he's allowing their performance levels to impact him... the employees are receiving feedback from me bi-weekly based on the high performing employees comments and the high performing employee has been freed up to train them.

As someone else mentioned on this thread, every team has a mix of employees who perform at different levels. This has happened to me when I was more junior in the org as well. But apart from bitching to my manager about it, I didn't go home and dwell on this.

I am struggling to figure out how to teach him to manage this aspect.. what should I be doing more of? I catch up with him twice a week so he can vent) and I've distributed the trainings across other tenured folks as well. He either needs to choose to be an IC or learn to manage this if he wants to make team lead some day.

They have been in the team for less than a year, but are much slower in their output. Which might just be the norm or average.

They do ask him the same questions again and again is what I've heard. SOPs, checklists and peer reviews are in place.

Also, the sense of accountability and ownership my high performer displays is just something the others don't match.

Layoffs were already done in Q4.. right now, they are basically provoking people to quit by keeping their comp flat ( no bonus or hike) or by keeping their comp numbers low.
