Every manager has been in this difficult position. “How do I handle an underperformer?”

Unfortunately, the three typical courses of action managers take are:

1. To do nothing and hope things get better. But the last time I checked, HOPE is not a strategy.
2. Number two, being seduced by the potential they see in the underperformer, hoping and waiting, “If they just focus on process and activity and be positive, they can do this!”

Then 6 months or a year passes by, and you’re still waiting for them to turn around their performance or attitude.

3. And finally giving up on that person and placing them on an HR complaint process.

4. Let me introduce you to a fourth option.

The 30 Day Turnaround Strategy or if you prefer, the Success Acceleration Program. Whatever you call it, keep in mind this is simply four weeks of ongoing, scheduled coaching and observation. Rather than struggling with the stress of having to fire someone, now, the outcome will be the person either choosing to self-select out or back into their position.

Here’s how to enroll the underperformer to gain their commitment and buy-in around this strategy so that you can demonstrate unconditional support for them, and model this for the rest of your team.

This creates the legacy and brand you want to have as a leader tomorrow – and today.

How Managers Coach And Turnaround An Underperformer In 30 Days Or Less

Ask yourself, are you working from home, or living at work? 🤔 People work under intense conditions that traditional time management and life balance strategies fail to address. Especially in our remote world, your work and personal life suffer, and personal priorities, self-care, along with your quality of life become secondary in pursuit of your business goals. 

In this session of Coaching and Coffee with Keith, learn how to:
• Reduce your daily workload and create MORE time in your day. 
• Make self-care non-negotiable, learn how to BE PRESENT, and live in the moment.
• Give up being a “Yes-Aholic” and get comfortable saying, “NO” to protect your time and eliminate daily interruptions. 
• Obliterate your never-ending to-do list and get EVERYTHING done - better and faster.
• Get ahead of costly problems so YOU can own your time, not everyone or everything else.
• Never let anything compromise your priorities, integrity and values. 
• Coach others to improve their productivity and maintain a healthy, balanced life.

Keith Rosen's Harvard Business Review Webinar - Own Your Day: How Leaders Master Time Management, Accelerate Productivity and Create Their Ideal Lives

This is a 40 minute webinar audio only, along with 25 minutes of a Q and A from the participants. 

People work under intense conditions and pressure unique to their roles that traditional time management strategies fail to address. Consequently, many leaders believe it’s impossible to develop an effective routine for themselves and their direct reports when their time is consumed with phone calls, emails, meetings, challenges, competing priorities, as well as selling and serving customers.

However, the concepts based on Keith Rosen’s new book, Own Your Day, change all that. In addition to learning time management strategies that will have an immediate, positive impact on your life, you will learn how to coach your people to thrive and help them improve their daily productivity, performance, and personal accountability.

Discover how to:
· Reduce your daily workload and protect your time.
· Obliterate your never-ending to-do list.
· Make time your ally rather than your adversary by mastering the inner game of self-management.
· Develop a Personal Navigation System that aligns your routine with your goals, values, and priorities.
· Stop reacting to problems and become hyper-responsive so that you can take charge of your day
· Identify and manage the unplanned events that distract you from your priorities, cause stress, and waste time.
· Coach your direct reports on how they can improve their daily productivity, performance, and personal accountability.
