Core Insights - Research indicates that hiring star employees often does not enhance performance and can even have the opposite effect. However, under specific conditions, such as joining a team of stars or a top-performing business area, positive outcomes may occur [1][4][11].

This can lead to decreased morale and performance among current staff [6][9]. - The tendency for star employees to struggle with collaboration can hinder team dynamics, as competition for resources and recognition may arise, leading to a lack of cooperation [6][7].

This environment can foster collaboration and support, enhancing the integration of new talent [12]. - The performance of top teams can be further improved by adding star employees, as these teams are better equipped to absorb the disruptions that new hires may bring [13]. - Introducing star employees into teams experiencing long-term performance decline is generally ineffective and may worsen the situation.
