The Four Most Powerful Tools to Drive Employee Performance
#WESTperformance
Have you ever had a problem employee and wondered, “Is he a lost cause – or is there more I should be doing to help?” If so, you’ll want to join us for this interactive session with executive and team coach Sharon Grady.
According to Sharon, “I frequently work with clients who are frustrated with an underperforming employee. ‘No matter how much feedback and coaching I give to Sam,’ my client will say, ‘his performance doesn’t improve. I guess he’s not cut out for this role.’ When I probe, I often discover that my client is unknowingly contributing to Sam’s poor performance because she is not providing him with the Four C’s of Performance – the four things every employee needs in order to succeed.”
In this interactive session you’ll learn the Four C’s of Performance and have an opportunity to apply them to your own most challenging employee scenarios. You’ll leave understanding how you and your employee may both be contributing to his underperformance, and what you can do about it.
