What to Do When You Have an Underperforming Team Member
Manage episode 319645923 series 2995926
Underperformers can plummet a team's enthusiasm and morale. They can kill projects, suck motivation, and make their colleagues look bad.
So - if you're trying to become a people manager - what do you do?
In this episode, we talk through what to do, how to do it, and why this flow matters:
1. Compensate for their underperformance (short-term ONLY).
2. Talk to their manager and CHECK your understanding of their performance.
3. Pull them into a deeper relationship with the team. Try to help them get better yourself. Work with their boss on remediating them.
It's not easy to overcome having an underperforming team member... but it is rewarding to help them become star performers.
