Presentation: When Crucial Conversations are about Performance
Abstract: Performance conversations may be the most important of the crucial conversations managers and team members have, but they are often delayed, avoided, stressful, and sometimes destructive. This session explores the consequences of delays in these performance conversations and provides insights and practical approaches to having these be timely, constructive, and stress-free in the future.
