It can be quite common for leaders to be not satisfied with an executive or key employee.
However, it's important not to allow that frustration to remain, but to understand why you are feeling this way. This means becoming clear on the gaps between your expectations, and actual performance, and then having a conversation with them so they are aware and have an opportunity to recalibrate and meet your expectations.
The failure of many leaders is experiencing this frustration, but keeping it a secret, which isn't fair to either party.
If you're feeling that an executive might not be performing, in this episode we talk about why you should act on it, and we provide several tools on how to understand, assess, and act on it.
