582 :: Are Your Worst Employees Getting the Best of Your Leadership?

Are your struggling employees getting most of your coaching time while your top performers are left to figure things out on their own?

Construction leaders often spend their time helping underperforming employees improve, assuming their best people don't need much attention. But what opportunities are being missed when those top performers receive the least support?

In this episode, Bradley Hartmann explores how one sales leader improved team performance by investing more time in his five strongest employees. Drawing on the Who Not How framework, Bradley shares how a shift in coaching priorities can help leaders remove obstacles, develop talent, and generate better results.

In this episode, you'll discover:

·       Why investing more coaching time in your top performers can create greater returns for your entire organization.

·       How to remove bottlenecks, provide strategic support, and help talented employees reach even higher levels of performance.

·       How to identify the employees with the greatest potential and invest your time where it can make the biggest difference.

Bradley also shares three questions you can use to help your best employees perform even better:

1.    What are you trying to accomplish?

2.    What's in the way?

3.    What can I do to make an impact?

These simple questions can help you identify obstacles, offer meaningful support, and give your strongest employees what they need to keep growing.
