Episode 17

Having Performance Conversations With Your Team

A major part of being a business leader is learning how to have tough conversations with your employees about their performance and potential termination. There are six main reasons that contribute to someone underperforming in their role, and in today’s episode, I break down what those are and how to address underlying issues with your employees. I also explain what a performance improvement plan is and get into why firing someone isn’t always the right solution. This topic is something that I see a lot of business owners struggle with, so tune in to learn more about how you can conduct effective performance reviews and retain your team members. 

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • Tell-tale signs that a team member is struggling in their role
  • Recognizing why an employee is no longer growing or learning in their position 
  • Creating dynamic roles and opportunities for your team 
  • Why you should have honest conversations with your team about their ambitions, goals, and what they want in their career 
  • What to do when team members are losing belief and disagreeing with your business decisions

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
