A key leadership responsibility is to manage individual performance to ensure team goals are achieved. Many leaders can delay initiating conversations about performance issues, fearing the situation may hurt feelings, provoke resistance, or lead to conflict. Delaying these conversations can have a significant impact on team relationships, morale, and productivity. This workshop focuses on how to plan, prepare, and conduct difficult conversations, to give you the best chance of a constructive outcome that strengthens relationships. Participants learn strategies to deal with emotions, give feedback clearly and sensitively and collaborate with your team member to find a solution and create a workable action plan.
The concepts are backed by strong research but explained in a very practical way. It helped me understand why some leadership approaches work with certain team members but not others. That insight alone will change how I lead my team.
