Got a difficult employee in your team and no idea what to actually do about it?

Before you jump straight to “do we fire them?”, Heather walks through the key steps every manager needs to take first and when it might be time to make a bigger decision.

In this episode, Heather explores:

  • How to work out whether someone is actually difficult, or whether the situation feels difficult
  • Why managers sometimes accidentally allow poor behaviour to build
  • How to address a negative attitude at work
  • The 4P's method for having difficult conversations
  • When it might be time to take things further
