That conversation

It’s too rare that we have that conversation. The one that’s specific about expectations, that sets things straight about where we are and how things will be.

Sometimes it’s a joy – You’ve done brilliantly. I know it’s been hard and the hours have been tough but the results speak for themselves. Let’s work out how we can take things to the next level.

Sometimes it’s tough – Being candid, it’s not working out. I know it’s been hard and the hours have been tough but the results speak for themselves. Let’s work out how to get thing back to the right level.

Either way, you owe them and everyone around them the conversation.

As an aside, that’s what it means to be a manager.

Way more important, that’s what it means to be part of a team.

Where everyone knows where they stand.
