Handling Difficult Conversations with Employees: What Every Manager Needs To Know

No one likes having a difficult conversation with an employee, but why do you try so hard to avoid it? You know stalling doesn’t help. The problem isn’t going away by itself and if you don’t deal with it, you’re encouraging it to continue. The worst part is, people notice when you ignore bad behavior. The poor performers think it’s great because they’ll just keep doing it. But your good performers? They’ll get sick of it and leave – only to be replaced by more problem employees.
