Why Performance Improvement Plans Fail | Leadership Sandbox 143
Episode #143 Host: Tammy J. Bond
Performance Improvement Plans do not fail because employees hate paperwork. They fail because organizations ask the paperwork to do the work the manager avoided.
When expectations were unclear, feedback arrived late, behavior was described with labels, and the outcome was decided before the first meeting, a PIP is not a sincere opportunity to improve. It is corporate theater. This episode shows leaders how to replace the ritual with a behavior-based performance process that is specific, measurable, fair, and honest.
So, Leader, Ask Yourself…
Is your performance improvement plan designed to improve performance—or simply document an exit?
Keep listening to learn the 5 signs you may be performing for self-preservation and personal comfort rather than to support an employee through change.
