150. Reasons for Underperformance
About this Podcast
Ep. 150 – All managers will sooner or later end up in a situation where they have to manage an underperformer. And these situations can be tricky.
Many of my clients have asked me how to best navigate these situations but before we can talk about the “action plan” we have to understand the reasons why the underperformance occurs.
In this episode of the Manager Track podcast, I will share the 4 reasons for underperformance, tips that will help you better manage them, and how you can avoid your next hire being an underperformer.
