When addressing performance issues, I approach it as an opportunity to lead with empathy and drive growth. Here’s my perspective: #EmpathyAtCore: I begin by acknowledging the individual’s efforts and showing understanding of their challenges. It’s about building trust first. #SpecificAndConstructive: I focus on clarity, providing actionable feedback with specific examples that connect to team goals and outcomes. #InvestInTheirSuccess: I offer tailored support, whether through mentoring, additional resources, or clear development plans, to help them excel. For me, leadership means guiding others through challenges while maintaining morale and fostering growth.
