Every employee deserves to know where they stand. 

An employee doesn't know exactly where they stand until YOU'VE met the following conditions - 

• You've reaffirmed the performance standard  
• Your expectations are clear and acknowledged by the employee 
• You've specified exactly where and how your expectations are not being met
• You've explained the consequences 
• You've specified a deadline 

There's much more to confronting an under performer than just letting them know where they stand.

• You have to be empathetic, listen to their POV, provide training and a positive, supportive environment.
• However, the most common mistake leaders make is not giving timely feedback and not letting people know exactly where they stand!

PRACTICE TIP - think about your lowest few performers and ask yourself "Do they know where they stand?" The last few times you had to terminate and employee...were they surprised?
