Title
Confronting Landmine Employees and Lovable Underperformers

Speaker

Randy Anderson

Description

Many managers find it difficult to effectively correct underperformance and two chronic under-performers are particularly difficult to address. Whether we worry about hurting the feelings of a really nice/popular team member, or simply want to avoid the emotion of an angry, defiant one; poor performance is often ignored under the guise of “preserving peace.” This session will teach you how to facilitate a constructive initial conversation, create a coaching strategy that directly ties performance to key objectives and hold the person accountable with quantifiable metrics.
