Taught by Douglas Tsoi

No matter how well-run your organization is, and no matter how great your hiring practices are, at some point managers ask, "Why aren't my employees doing what they're supposed to? They need more training!" Many managers turn to extrinsic incentives and consequences. Others invoke employees' intrinsic goals, like a sense of purpose or being part of team. Most of the time, these solutions don't work, causing frustration everywhere.

The problem is our toolset is way too limited for employee performance gaps. In this workshop, you will learn to break down employee performance problems from the ground up. You'll learn to identify 18 environmental and individual causes of why employees underperform. Specifically, we will spend a lot of time talking about environmental obstacles to employee performance, like process redesign and task interferences. By focusing on the causes, you can come up with better solutions for each one. We'll apply this framework to diagnose and work through actual issues at YOUR workplace. Problems will be shared safely and confidentially. Connections will be made; fun will be had. Most importantly, you'll gain new insights, ones that you can take back to your workplace and make you both a better manager and a more valuable employee.
