When High-Performers Go Rogue: How Role Clarity Reins Them In

Episode 4 in the series Execution That Scales (KeyneLink Advantage)

Strong personalities can make or break a company. They’re talented, driven, and confident — but when expectations aren’t clear, that same energy can fracture teams and derail execution.

In this episode, James Mayhew explains why role clarity is the foundation of a high-performing culture and how KeyneLink Performance Agreements keep freedom from turning into chaos. Drawing from Wharton and Frontiers in Psychology research, James reveals how systems that combine clarity, dialogue, and accountability help founders harness their best people without losing alignment.

You’ll Learn:

  • Why strong personalities need structure as much as freedom
  • What research says about maverick and proactive behaviors
  • How role clarity turns independence into aligned execution
  • Why KeyneLink Performance Agreements and Core Behaviors keep high-performers on track
  • How clarity connects culture and performance into one system

Reflection Questions:

  1. Who on your team is brilliant but misaligned?
  2. What conversation would bring them — and maybe you — back into clarity?
