Manager Minute: Stop Avoiding the Awkward Conversation

EPISODE NOTES

About this episode

Avoiding a difficult conversation rarely makes the problem disappear. It usually gives it time to become a much bigger problem.

In this Manager Minute, Steve explains how managers can address performance and behavior concerns early, keep the discussion focused on facts, and create a clear path forward without turning it into a confrontation.
