Even on a night away alone, I keep thinking about my team member’s performance.
I’m alone at a place I’m staying on vacation, but I can’t stop thinking about the team member whose performance is low.
Scenes
- I’m on a trip, but I keep thinking about my team member. — Even while resting alone where I’m staying, I keep wondering what to say to the team member whose performance is low.
- I only see what’s missing — When a report deadline slips twice, I notice what’s missing before what went well.
- It’s faster if I finish it — If I revise the report and meet the deadline, the work gets done for now. But the team member loses a chance to learn for next time.
- Look at performance through actions — Leadership coaching doesn’t treat low performance as a personality trait. It looks separately at what wasn’t done and what standards are needed.
- Agree on a small check-in — Agree to review the draft together the day before the next deadline. Then you can see what’s changed.
- Helping starts with the next check-in — When you catch yourself trying to take sole responsibility for a team member’s performance, think of one action you can check together next time.
