Suitable for: I What does this mean?
The ability to monitor, manage and resolve poor performance presents a big challenge to line managers. But failing to do so means we may become complicit in that behaviour. Research shows how a manager’s inability to manage a poor performer can have a negative impact on the rest of the team – yes, even your star performers!
This workshop addresses that challenge and provides techniques and structured approaches to highlight performance and behaviours that are below standard, hold mutually respectful conversations, put measures in place and monitor progress in line with your organisation’s performance management system.
