Accountability Best Practices: The 5 Conversations
A manager has to effectively give feedback and hold their team members accountable to build a high-performing team. Many leaders struggle with giving negative feedback, especially to under-performers who don’t receive it well.
It’s best to see feedback as a set of five escalating conversations. The goal is for the team member to understand how they are failing to meet expectations and change their behavior. Eventually, if they don’t improve, you’ll let them go. But start simply and then escalate.
Conversation 1 - Ongoing task-based feedback using plus/delta.
Conversation 2 - Negative/Constructive Feedback
Conversation 3 - Holding a Team Member Accountable
Conversation 4 - Role Underperformance (or a formal PIP)
Conversation 5 - Letting Them Go (or Changing their Role)
The 5 Conversations - See a 25-minute and all the conversations in one place.
Nine Foundations of Trust
Sometimes leaders gain or lose trust because they think everyone gains or loses trust in the same way. This model helps leaders understand why they trust people and why they don’t (and vice-versa).
Nine Foundations of Trust- How teams gain or lose trust in a leader.
