How to Deal with Underperforming Employee?

Expectations of CEOs, managers or team leaders are often failed by their subordinates. This happens all the time, and, as is easy to imagine, it is precisely the people in charge who are the first to seek a solution. Seeking a solution is a good thing, only if you managed to accurately identify the root cause of the problem. Believe it or not, 90% of the time the problem is a lack of Soft Communication Skill.

Communication Skills are the Best Performance Management Tool

If indeed Underperforming Employees root cause is a lack of soft communication skills, why is it that CEOs, managers, and team leaders simply don’t notice this right away and focus instead to put in place palliative, expensive, and almost certainly ineffective solutions? Because they are the ones in the first place who do not possess the right communication skills!

There is no doubt that in any professional, social or family sphere, when there is a lack of harmony and togetherness, or when misunderstandings and moodiness arise, it is because there has been some communication incident that has gone unnoticed.

Written communication, especially if it is about something as uneasy as communicating that the expected results have not been reached, will only cause further unhappiness and misunderstanding. In fact, written communication lacks any kind of instant feedback and will generate written responses that again may be misinterpreted.
