- Mentor them on leadership skills.
- Distinguish between truly committed individuals and conveniently
committed ones ->> through support and challenges.
- Be careful while promoting them as leaders (as they might have A players reporting to them)
High Capability, Low Commitment (B*— Capable):(Son in laws!^your need)
