What if the biggest performance management mistake isn't failing to document but failing to ask the right questions? When layoffs are disguised as performance reviews and employees are blindsided by "underperformance" labels, effective performance management practices have clearly gotten off-track.
In this episode, Kamaria Scott and Jen Arnold tackle one of leadership's toughest challenges: managing underperformance fairly and effectively.
In this honest conversation, we dig into the real friction points that prevent managers from addressing performance issues head-on. From budget constraints that make firing impossible to the energy drain of managing inconsistent performers, we share practical frameworks for diagnosing what's really happening when someone isn't meeting expectations.
Whether you're dealing with a misfit situation or someone who just needs better support, this conversation gives you practical tools for handling performance challenges with both clarity and compassion.
