113: How to course correct when someone isn't delivering results
Ever been up at night stressing about a team member who isn’t delivering? Today on Managing Made Simple, we dive into how to tackle this situation so you can get back to your beauty rest. And it’s not to just jump to hiring a new team member!
Begin by setting crystal-clear expectations, then lean into an open conversation to suss out the hiccups. Often, that nudge nudges them right back on track. Invite them to share challenges - sometimes they just need a little support to shine. But hey, if progress stalls and accountability dips, we've got to face the music. It's tough, but the right fit matters for them, for you, and for the company.
Check out episode 113 for how to handle this, and my new bestselling book The Unstoppable Team for simple tools and tricks to help you scale your business, manage with ease, and reach higher profits.

110: Micromanaging isn't about WHAT, it's about WHEN
Every day I hear the same concern from business owners and leaders - I want to give feedback and set expectations, but I don't want to come across as a micromanager. If you've shared this same concern, you're not alone. But today I'm going to let you in on a little secret: micromanaging is not about WHAT, it's about WHEN.
In today's episode, I talk about how the timing of corrective feedback tends to a bigger issue than the feedback itself, and how establishing expectations up front is game-changing to your team getting aligned without feeling micromanaged.
