You are always right on time! Literally need this right now for a couple team members! I also have my consult with you this week! It can’t come soon enough! So excited to work with you! And can I just say - I literally said today “I don’t understand - if they’d just slow down and take the info in they would be fine” thanks for the reminder to clarify.

Ambrea!!! I AM SO EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU!!! I read your application on Friday and got SO.PUMPED! There was so much in what you said that I resonated with. BTW... one of our current NMA student's is an Amazon AWS Director so you are going to fit right in like a glove with her for sure. We understand the challenges in tech ;)

This was *extremely* helpful! Thank you so much! This is the number 1 thing I struggle with because I both hold myself and others to high standards while at the same time being very sensitive to the emotions of others - I hate to disappoint others or make them feel less than in any way. However, I realize this is selfish because I’m more concerned with myself being comfortable than elevating my team. However, I couldn’t find that balance. You described it perfectly - my favorite part was when you put things in perspective of how our manager might feel xyz is common sense - but for us, it's all totally new and confusing. one question I still have though is - how do we differentiate between simple lack of motivation vs actual skill related issues?

Thank you, this was great! We are dealing with this with some of our team members we manage and this will be helpful for our Leadership team. I will share with our leadership team for our weekly Leadership Learning.

I’m a junior employee in a new industry after making a career pivot. I feel like I’m that underperformer because I’m not speedy with work like my team member (one level above me, one level below my supervisor). This team member is younger than me (2 yrs out of college) and I find her type A overachiever know-it-all persona annoying because it’s what I’m being compared against. I don’t hate her entirely because she trained me (although I hate when she trains me because she talks VERY fast and gives little context) but I feel like because I don’t treat every task like the Olympics (as she does) that I’m secretly being judged as less than.

Just know that she doesn't have that experience yet that allows for self awareness of her own short comings. Just coach her to get better.

What I am not cool with is individuals that can glance at the theories behind leadership and management while focusing on their own spin that isn't so much a framework that was built from empirical research. But to be fair, I get what you are trying to do here. We have too many of these "gift for gab" individuals calling themselves leaders without understanding what this actually means.

there is always that added pressure to perform. after starting a new role bringing in years of experience, the pressure I feel is even greater as I have in my mind that experienced workers should not underperform. I don't want to give my new manager an excuse to fire me

I had to laugh at the questions of what is making an underperformer underperform. The one question that is never asked is what is wrong with the policies and procedures implemented by management and followed by the employee. My policies and procedures are perfect but I have bad employees. Really?

W. Edwards Deming, who was the business management expert who taught the Japanese automakers the techniques that enabled them to steal the Big Three's lunch, stated that 85% of performance issues are caused by the system in which the "underperformer" works. Badgering that employee to perform at a higher level only breeds animosity, but fixing the system gets the desired result.

The last point is kind of one sided, what if there is nothing to celebrate? Say, the employee continues to underperform!

@makeda.andrews Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your question. The framework is meant to be flexible to the circumstance and not necessarily to apply no matter what. So if an employee continues to underperform where do you think in the framework is appropriate to stop given the situation? Because there is a logical place that one would want to stop if celebration doesn't make sense to the situation.

The employee will simply leave or get fired but it's probably what they want anyway. It's a 2 way street the company can be ok but that's it simply ok so there's zero reason to push for anything even to keep a job in a company you don't like or stopped liking.. It's like the president example he does that so everyone knows that person is about to be fired and maybe other people will pick up. the age old sack 1 person and the ones desperate for the cash will pick up. She finds it funny but in the situation it's not funny and it kills moral and lets everyone know to start looking for jobs elsewhere, before that group gets wiped

There’s an underperformer on our team but my boss doesn’t deal with it. She even gets frustrated with his underperformance but will not do anything about it.
