Develop strategies to address and improve underperformance
What you'll be able to do
•Separate a skill gap from a motivation problem so you address the real cause
•Document performance concerns factually before you act on them
•Have a direct conversation about underperformance without it turning into a fight
•Build a fair improvement plan with clear expectations and a timeline
Who it's for
Managers dealing with a team member who is not meeting expectations, and supervisors who want to handle underperformance fairly and confidently rather than avoiding it.
What changes on the job
•Underperformance addressed early instead of tolerated for months
•Improvement conversations that are documented and defensible
•A clear path that either turns performance around or leads to a fair next step
