MANAGING INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE

Techniques for Coaching the Challenging Employee

How do you manage a poor performer? What do you do if your feedback is ignored? How do you manage an individual who seems to lack a work ethic? How do you define the shortfall in an individual’s performance? How do you ensure that any positive change in work performance is permanent and lasting?

This workshop is offered within organizations for groups of 5 people or more.
