Frustrated with an Employee? Here's why....
Hello and welcome to Episode 117 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Is It Me Or Is It Them?
As mentioned on today’s episode, if you have a frustrating employee on your hands I have created a great new resource to help you identify what sort of problem you are dealing with, and the exact strategy you need to fix the problem.
Today we unpacked one of the biggest challenges we face as business owners – why we are frustrated with an employee!
The thing is, if we’re frustrated with an employee it’s always because they aren’t meeting our expectations – whether performance or behaviour based, things aren’t happening as we expected.
But – are we actually clear on what our expectations are? Have we clearly communicated and articulated them to our people? and are they realistic and reasonable for the person and the role? if not, the problem lies with us, not them.
Assuming we are clear on our expectations, they are reasonable, and we’ve clearly articulated them, and we are still frustrated, what’s next?
If you still find yourself frustrated by an employee, it comes down to 3 main causes:
- There is a skills gap;
- Their motivation is missing in action;
- You’re trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
And this is where the free guide comes in.
