"A joy to manage as they typically do 99% of the job for you"
I don't doubt that managers prefer employees that are easier to manage. But is it really in the organization's best interest?
I don't know thte author, but I've learned not to underestimate what a good boss can do for an employee. I'm inclined to believe that maybe if the author gave "rock stars" a bit more attention, he might be surprised at what they can do.
Typically I've found that the best employees don't need "managing" in the classic sense, they need facilitation and protecting from the usual distractions.
