Module Overview
This workshop is called ‘Managing Poor Performance’ but we’ve also rebranded it as ‘Managing for Success’ or ‘Having Courageous Conversations’ - because both of those are true too. If you want to find out how to turn performance around, this workshop is for you.
You will cover:
- Understanding the differences between poor performance and other issues
- 6 clever ways to tell someone they're not doing well - without any tears or anger!
- What to include in a performance plan & how to phrase it
- The way to know when to make discussions more formal
- The simple way to stop taking on the monkey and get your employee engaged and motivated to improve.
