No manager wants to have a difficult conversation with a member of their team. A conversation about their performance, if you've got to address that they're not meeting expectations, is what you and they would almost certainly rather not be having. But if you know the correct way to approach a difficult conversation, and what to address, then in not only becomes easier but it can deliver positive outcomes for both sides. In this podcast Chris Locke joins me to share how you can turn a difficult conversation into something less painful and more positive.
