If a boat veers off course and you don't touch the tiller, you're a bad sailor.
If an employee veers off course and you wait until you're ready to terminate them before you say anything, you're a bad manager.
And it's not always them, it's sometimes you. Have you never thrived under one manager, been reshuffled and then suffered under another?
- throwme_1980 9y agoMediocrity cannot be remedied, unless you are a big company where you have dedicated departments to cater for these sort of people ( and by the way, they aim to accomplish the same outcome, just a little bit slower and more paperwork). All I am saying is, an employee has no business performing a job he/she cannot do unless he is a trainee with a good attitude. I leave this comment section with one last nugget of wisdom : There are more skilled and deserving individuals looking for jobs that they can't get because a bad manager is holding on to a mediocre employee.
