Managing Performance Challenges Like a Pro
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When an employee starts to struggle, it can test even the most experienced leader. Do you coach, correct, or take formal action? How do you address performance problems without creating tension or losing trust?
In this episode of The PeoplePro Podcast, Misty breaks down how to handle performance challenges with clarity, consistency, and confidence. From understanding the real root causes of underperformance to having constructive, respectful conversations, you’ll learn the strategies HR professionals and people leaders need to turn problems into progress.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The six most common causes of underperformance (and how to spot them early)
- How to have effective performance conversations using the SBI Model
- The difference between coaching and discipline — and when each is appropriate
- How to balance accountability with empathy to build trust and results
Takeaway:
Managing performance isn’t about punishment — it’s about partnership. With the right mindset and process, you can help employees get back on track and strengthen your entire team.
