Putting them on a performance improvement plan should be your very last step and hopefully one of the strategies in this video will mean it won't get to that. Here's the question: I'm having trouble with one of my direct reports. They are a very keen team player yet make commitments and rarely follow through. Particularly, if they think their actions may piss somebody off. I appreciate their sensitivity but at times they need to make a call. Yet, even though I've pointed this out several times, their behaviour continues. Before putting them on a performance improvement plan, do you have any ideas? I’d love you to reflect on the 3 simple strategies outlined and consider which one you need to better employ. I hope it helps. Enjoy the episode and please share it with other friends, colleagues and leaders you know would benefit from the lessons within. ---- SUBMIT A QUESTION Due to the many requests I get for support of all types, we introduced "Mentoring with Mitch" as a way for you to get your questions answered.
