How You Will Benefit
Many organizations have some sort of goal-setting plan, and many managers do some sort of coaching. However, when the situation gets sticky with employees not performing up to established goals, many managers become uncertain how to handle the situation effectively. Yelling at the employee or ignoring the situation are natural responses, but not the most effective ones.
According to the Ethics Research Center, 62 percent of workers in large companies witness misconduct, compared to 33 of workers in large companies with effective ethics and performance programs!
This chapter will help managers recognize performance problems and give them skills to address the problem effectively. As a result, you will be able to recognize problems and address them appropriately, determine why standards aren’t being met, generate buy-in from employees to meet performance standards, and recognize and celebrate successes.
