Difficult Team Member?
Have you ever had to manage a difficult team member?
It can be a challenge, especially when personalities clash and work styles don’t align. As women leaders, we tend to be conscientious of relationships and want everyone to enjoy their job. But, this can sometimes hold us back from having difficult conversations and giving honest feedback.
In this on-air coaching episode, Louise, a head of department in education, shares her struggles with managing a team member who lacks urgency and falls behind on tasks.
If getting on the same page with someone has been difficult for you, don’t go anywhere, this is episode is going to give you some things to think about.
