Addressing Employee Performance Gaps ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ


Hey, Reader,

โ€‹

Meet Alex, a supervisor who was struggling with a team member, Mia. Her work wasnโ€™t meeting expectations, and Alex felt stuck.

โ€‹

He worried:

๐Ÿ’ญ What if Mia felt attacked?โ€‹
๐Ÿ’ญ What if this ruined their working relationship?

โ€‹

Instead of avoiding the issue, Alex took these steps to approach the conversation effectively:

โ€‹

โœ… Pause and prepare: Alex wrote down specific examples of where Mia's work fell short ๐Ÿ“‹ and what success would look like instead ๐ŸŒŸ.
โ€‹

โœ… Lead with curiosity: He started the conversation by asking about her perspective ๐Ÿ‘‚ and any challenges she might be facing ๐Ÿ›‘.
โ€‹

โœ… Reframe feedback as support: Alex emphasized, โ€œI believe in your potential, and I want to help you get thereโ€ ๐Ÿค.

โ€‹

โ€‹

The outcome?

โ€‹

โ€‹

Mia shared obstacles Alex hadnโ€™t been aware of ๐Ÿ’ก. Together, they created a plan for success, and her performance soared ๐Ÿš€.

โ€‹

Hard conversations donโ€™t have to be scaryโ€”they can be transformational when handled with kindness and clarity ๐Ÿ’–.

โ€‹

Ready to turn tough talks into team breakthroughs?

Cheering you on,

Burned Out? Stop Saying YES to Everything

Hi There, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! If youโ€™ve been saying โ€œyesโ€ to everything lately, I want you to pause for a moment.

Many leaders donโ€™t hear this enough: constantly saying yes doesnโ€™t make you more helpful. It makes you depleted. And a depleted leader canโ€™t lead with clarity, calm, or confidence. Boundaries arenโ€™t walls. Theyโ€™re clarity. Theyโ€™re respect! Theyโ€™re the...
