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.

04 - The Perfect Coaching Question

Are your employees open to and embracing coaching or do you find there's some resistance to your coaching? The question is, Why? Is it you, your coaching, their experiences or posssibly is it simly how you positioned coaching to your team in the first place. Here's how to rebrand coaching in a positive not a remedial way.

How Managers Destroy the Sanctity of Coaching, Create Coaching Resistance and How to Fix it

Ever ask yourself, "How do I uncover how people want to be managed, sold to, motivated, even held accountable?" If you find yourself struggling to answer these questions, then you're asking the wrong person. Ask THEM! Ask the person who you're coaching and supporting. They will happily tell you! Then, you avoid the costly and assumptive thinking, "Well, this is how I like to be managed, so I guess they'll want to be managed this way, too." Now, you've fallen into the dangerous trap of coaching and managing in your own image, which will continually erode TRUST and performance. So, if you want to build a team of accountable champions, honor each person's individuality.
