The hard conversation with an employee you keep putting off has a structure. Giving feedback to an employee does not have to become a whole thing. In this episode, Lia breaks down the Sit-Down: one thirty-minute conversation, three steps, that works for the missed deadline, the behavior nobody has named out loud, the change your team did not ask for, and the person doing great work who has not heard about it in six months.
In this episode you will learn:
The three steps of the Sit-Down, and why leaders skip the first one
Why "hey, can we talk" makes people brace for bad news, and what to say instead
The exact language for recognizing a high performer so it lands as a career plan, not a compliment
What to say to the employee who keeps saying "I'm on it" and never finishes the work
How to follow up in writing so you have documentation without making it feel like a case file
How the same three steps work when you are announcing a re-org or a change nobody asked for
