Leading a small team can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also test your patience and capacity when performance starts to slip. I’ve been there. As a leader, it’s easy to slip into frustration or burnout when you feel like you’ve communicated what’s expected and things still aren’t getting done.

In this episode of the Leveraging Operations in Leadership Podcast, I’m sharing how to manage underperformance without losing momentum—or your sanity.

I’ll walk you through my R.I.S.E. Framework, a practical system I’ve used with small teams and business leaders to help them reframe performance challenges and rebuild consistency.

Here’s something to think about: according to Gallup, only 47% of employees strongly agree they know what’s expected of them at work. That means more than half of your team may be operating without true clarity—and that’s not a performance problem, it’s a leadership opportunity.

If you’re a small-business owner, healthcare leader, or manager of a growing team, this episode will help you strengthen your leadership systems, set clear expectations, and build a team that performs without constant oversight or exhaustion.

🎧 Tune in to learn how to manage underperformance with clarity, compassion, and consistency so your small team can truly thrive.
