What will you learn?

This webinar is the fourth in a series of interactive leadership conversations, led by Barbara Watson and Bridgit Williams. Each session has a leadership focus that has been illustrated by way of relatable scenarios. Participants have discussed the problems, issues and dilemmas in these scenarios and drawn on leadership theory and experience to develop a range of appropriate responses to each situation.

The intention is to present everyday leadership situations and collectively problem-solve potential and implementable solutions.

The series will be structured around the following topics:

1. What does it take to be an effective leader?

2. Setting and maintaining clear expectations

3. Coaching effective practice in others

4. Managing poor performance

5. Having difficult conversations

6. Understanding and working through power dynamics

From time to time as a leader we will find ourselves in the unfortunate position of having to manage poor performance with one of our team despite all our best efforts to create clear expectations. But as leaders we must take action quickly with poor performers.

But how do we manage this process in a way that achieves improved outcomes or if necessary, the exit of an under performing team member?

In this webinar Barbara and Bridgit have discussed the implications of poor performing team members, and how we can effectively manage these situations for positive outcomes.
