About This Module

Most performance problems start small and get expensive because nobody says anything. This lesson shows you how to notice the first drift from the standard, guess at the cause, and hold a short first conversation that is clear and fair. You will also learn how to follow up so it sticks.

What You'll Learn

Recognise early signs of underperformance and record them without building a dossier
Sort a problem into unclear expectations, skill gap, willingness or obstacle before you speak
Hold a ten-minute first conversation that ends with a specific request and a check-in date
