Where are you adding processes instead of addressing performance?
Avoiding performance conversations can look like:
Adding rigor to all of your 1:1 meetings - instead of addressing the person who shows up unprepared.
Creating a policy to turn around client documents in 48 hours - instead of addressing why documents were delivered late.
Setting new requirements for working hours and availability - instead of addressing the continuously unavailable person.
When something goes off track, it can be tempting to address it with a new process or policy and, with good intent, hope it won't happen again.
Process is great. But falls short in the absence of a meaningful, direct conversation about an individual's role and responsibility.
Growing from an Emerging Leader to an Executive Leader means building the skills to have the often uncomfortable or difficult conversation to address and resolve a performance issue.
