How To Take Action
I would suggest immediately addressing any non-productive behaviors you notice. Be clear and direct about what behaviors need to change. Remember, being timely is key, so do this as soon as you spot the issue.
To encourage positive changes, it's smart to try different strategies. Maybe offer some feedback or guidance on how they can improve. But, if you see someone is not able to change even after help, you have to make tough choices.
Ask yourself, can I really help change this person's behavior? If yes, think about whether your business can wait for them to change. This is really important if your company is growing fast. Sometimes, there just isn't enough time.
A good way of doing this is by setting short, clear goals for behavior change. This way, you can quickly see if the person is making progress. If they're not, you might need to decide what's best for your company's speed and growth.
Here's a step-by-step plan:
- Spot the non-productive behavior right away.
- Talk to the person clearly and directly about what needs to change.
- Offer strategies or help to improve the behavior.
- Set short-term goals to check progress.
- If there's no change, ask if you can and should wait for them to improve.
- Make the tough decision if needed, keeping your company's pace in mind.
By following these steps, you can help your team grow in a way that's good for both the people and your business.
