Why This Matters
As a newly promoted manager, you may not have received structured training on how to conduct effective performance conversations. While you’ve reviewed prior training materials, you have not had the opportunity to practice through role-play or develop the interpersonal skills that make these discussions successful. Now, you are supervising an employee who is struggling, with limited documentation from the previous supervisor. After observing, listening, and documenting, you must decide whether to coach the employee, initiate a performance improvement plan (PIP), or move toward termination. Without comprehensive performance management training, the next steps can feel uncertain and carry significant risks for both the organization and the employee. DeCaro Consulting is here to support you.
