Difficult conversations are one of the most important pieces of leadership, they can be terrible depending on the issue at hand and the ultimate outcome of the conversation. It’s important to have difficult conversations when they need to had…if you let them linger, it gets more difficult and you put those in your charge in a potentially bad space. You aren’t being mean or trying to make them feel bad…you are helping them improve some piece of their output (or lack thereof), which assuming they listen and make changes, will help improve their career. If you have done the due diligence of building trust and showing empathy, they will know you are looking out for their best interest! If you aren’t sure what that means, check out the Radical Candor episode!
