The importance of performance

- Here's the truth. Patience with poor performance eventually becomes permission to perform poorly. One of the things I've seen all too often over the course of my professional career is a manager who's afraid to handle the poor performer. But if that's you, then you're losing your rhythm and undermining your effectiveness by allowing a person's poor performance to continue unaddressed. My name is Ron Williams. I'm an entrepreneur, a coach, and a former corporate executive. I'm committed to and passionate about helping leaders become better managers and helping managers become better leaders. In this short course, I want to help you take swifter, firmer action to address poor performers. I'll share with you the environmental impact of poor performance. You'll learn strategies to have more effective crucial conversations, decide between performance and potential, and then learn the three T's of poor performance. Once you're done, you'll be prepared to handle poor performers by either managing them up or managing them out. The truth is, performance issues don't just happen. There's always an underlining cause. I want to help you lead change by changing the way you lead when it comes to poor performers. So are you ready? Let's go.
