Addressing Performance Problems: Accountability, Documentation, and Follow-Through

Addressing Performance Problems: Accountability, Documentation, and Follow-Through helps leaders address ongoing performance concerns in a firm, fair, and consistent way.

Chronic performance problems can affect productivity, morale, team credibility, and a leader’s time. When leaders delay addressing performance issues, fail to document specific examples, or enter the conversation without a clear plan, the problem often continues and may become more difficult to resolve.

This course gives leaders a practical structure for preparing for and conducting performance problem conversations. Participants learn how to gather accurate performance data, document behavioral and operational examples, communicate expectations clearly, manage strong emotions, and keep the conversation focused on improvement and accountability.

Leaders also learn how to provide follow-up support after the conversation, determine whether formal consequences may be needed, and help employees understand what must change, by when, and what will happen if improvement does not occur. The source course emphasizes documentation, interaction skills, ongoing feedback, support, and formal consequences when needed.
