YOU REALLY NEED TO TALK TO YOUR STAFF ABOUT PERFORMANCE

From my own experience consulting senior executives, I have found that leaders need to build better trust so that their staff can feel safe enough to tell the truth about your expectations...those that you think are not being met.

Here is a sample of what your people are thinking but not talking to you about:

¨ They don't know how to do it…but think they do

 

¨ They don't know why they should do it

¨ They think something else is more important

¨ They don't really know what they are supposed to do

 ¨ They think your way will not work as well

¨ They think their way is better

Next step?  stop talking and really LISTEN to your people!
