my name is Nanette Johnston and I’m a
00:05
leader coach force tutoring as a leader
00:09
probably the most difficult conversation
00:11
we have are with those that are low
00:13
performers within our organization there
00:16
are two kinds of low performers one the
00:19
low solid performer and then there is
00:22
the low performer the difference is the
00:25
low solid performer has the will to do
00:29
better but perhaps they don’t have a
00:32
skill having the will means when you
00:35
have that conversation they’re accepting
00:37
of your suggestions you see some effort
00:41
toward improvement they just perhaps
00:43
don’t have the skill level to improve at
00:46
the level that you want them to improve
00:48
or advance to the level of others within
00:51
the organization
00:53
then there’s the low performer that’s
00:57
the person that comes to the meeting not
01:00
accepting the suggestions not
01:01
acknowledging that they have some of the
01:03
issues that you’re sharing they don’t
01:06
show any effort toward improvement you
01:09
don’t see any initiative taken they
01:12
don’t apply the skills that they do have
01:15
nor do they want to improve the whole
01:18
demeanor and attitude of this individual
01:20
is very different from the low solid
01:23
performer at some point with that low
01:27
solid performer as you are coaching that
01:30
individual there may be a time where you
01:32
don’t see improvement you’ve worked hard
01:35
you’ve had that plan you’ve provided the
01:38
support and the extra help that they
01:40
would need to improve but they just
01:43
can’t get to that level at some point
01:46
you may have to move them to that low
01:48
performer conversation to where you have
01:51
a corrective action plan and basically
01:54
you’re seeing that they’re just not a
01:55
good fit for your organization there’s
01:58
an attempt to try with one individual
02:01
but with the other individual there’s
02:03
not any attempt at all those are two
02:06
very different conversations but those
02:09
that have to be made for the best
02:11
interest of your organization as a
02:14
leader that’s
02:15
but as a leader that’s the most
02:17
important thing that we can do for the
02:19
health of our organization
02:28
you
