Addressing Employee Performance Gaps 📉🗣️


Hey, Reader,

Meet Alex, a supervisor who was struggling with a team member, Mia. Her work wasn’t meeting expectations, and Alex felt stuck.

He worried:

💭 What if Mia felt attacked?
💭 What if this ruined their working relationship?

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

Pause and prepare: Alex wrote down specific examples of where Mia's work fell short 📋 and what success would look like instead 🌟.

Lead with curiosity: He started the conversation by asking about her perspective 👂 and any challenges she might be facing 🛑.

Reframe feedback as support: Alex emphasized, “I believe in your potential, and I want to help you get there” 🤝.

The outcome?

Mia shared obstacles Alex hadn’t been aware of 💡. Together, they created a plan for success, and her performance soared 🚀.

Hard conversations don’t have to be scary—they can be transformational when handled with kindness and clarity 💖.

Ready to turn tough talks into team breakthroughs?

Cheering you on,
Elisabeth

Set Boundaries Like a Boss ?

Hi There, Reader, Mastering Hard Conversations Let’s talk about boundaries, the quiet superpower of great leaders. Strong boundaries aren’t barriers. They’re clarity.

True leadership means showing others where the line is, and doing it with kindness and confidence. Boundaries protect your energy, build respect,...
