Description: Addressing performance or behavior problems can be stressful
for both parties, and how managers approach these meetings can positively
or negatively affect their outcomes. Learn how to have difficult
conversations with your staff members, covering everything from
interpersonal issues to termination discussions. Discover strategies for
making these meetings more productive, how to follow up and ensure
continual progress, how to encourage regular open communication with your
direct reports, and why addressing issues is necessary for the success of
your entire department.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this webinar, participants will:
1. Learn strategies that improve the outcomes of difficult conversations
with their staff, covering everything from interpersonal issues all the way
to furlough and termination discussions;
2. Become more confident in initiating difficult conversations, directly
addressing issues in their departments, and creating open channels of
communication with their employees; and
3. Learn why having difficult conversations and addressing problems as they
arise is necessary for the health and success of their departments.
Who should attend?
The tips will be general enough to apply to a variety of management
situations, so everyone should be able to connect what they learn in this
presentation to their own experiences.
