Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

An underperforming employee affects everyone in the organization including their co-workers and their customers. For the supervisor or manager, this can mean working with the employees to establish better performance standards.

But where do you begin? And how do you know if you are correcting the real performance problem(s) or just trying to correct the symptoms?

Remember: In managing others, just like in practicing medicine, prescribing a cure before a diagnosis is malpractice.

This interactive and informative program will give you the six questions to ask yourself to help you to work together with your employee to diagnose their performance problem(s) and to create a plan of action moving forward.

As a result of this program:

• Participants will be prepared for the sometimes, uncomfortable employee performance conversations
• Participants will ask the necessary questions to be able to collaboratively diagnose the cause(s) of the employee’s below standard performance
• Participants will be able to create a plan of action to help the employee in determining the next steps in the performance improvement process
