As a manager you've probably faced some tough employee situations. Many of those "tough" situations often involve an employee not doing what you expect them to do or not delivering on what they were hired to produce. These situations are tough because they require you to have a conversation to address the issue. And, in these tight economic times, you and your organization cannot afford poor performance. Yet, many managers would rather avoid the conversation, waiting to see if the issue will resolve itself. Are you one of those who avoid the tough conversations?
Lesson #1: Employee performance problems rarely, if ever, resolve themselves!

The first step is to own this responsibility and stop putting off the hard work. Management takes courage. It takes guts.

In the months ahead, I'll offer more ideas for having those painless performance conversations. For now, have the guts to get started.
