The Art of Leadership Defense -- Verbal and Documented Disciplinary Interventions

2023 Annual

REPEATED FROM MONDAY AT 3:00pm

The path of least resistance is avoidance, and many managers shy away from potentially confrontational discussions with or disciplinary actions for their employees. Further, they tend to engage in grade inflation during annual performance reviews and avoid formal corrective action for fear of angering or demotivating their staffers--or possibly to be the 'good guy' who turns a blind eye to both performance and conduct challenges.  But it doesn't have to be that way.

Learning Objectives:

  • Constructive conversations that demand greater accountability and employee awareness, both in terms of performance and conduct.
  • Formal progressive disciplinary documentation techniques to reset expectations and accord due process.
  • Structuring terminations and/or layoffs based on the written record at hand. 

In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
