    Episode 411: Thinking Time - Managing Team Member Underperformance

    In this podcast episode, Bradley Hamner discusses the importance of clarity and accountability when addressing employee performance issues. He shares a recent client conversation about implementing a performance incentive program that involves reducing base salary and adding bonuses to motivate higher productivity. Rather than advising his client to make immediate changes, Bradley encourages a coaching approach, guiding the client to reflect on whether the employees fully understand their expectations. Bradley introduces a three-part framework: What, How, and Will. First, he emphasizes the importance of setting clear expectations ("What") so employees know exactly what's required of them. Second, he highlights the necessity of training and coaching to ensure employees understand "How" to meet these expectations. Lastly, if these two areas are addressed and performance issues persist, he considers whether the employee has the "Will" or motivation to fulfill the role, though he believes that most underperformance stems from unclear expectations or inadequate training. To reinforce clarity, he suggests a practical exercise for managers: in one-on-one meetings, ask employees to write down their understanding of their responsibilities and compare this with the manager's expectations. This comparison can reveal gaps in understanding and support more effective coaching. He concludes by reinforcing the value of combining clarity with accountability, referring listeners to a previous solo episode that expands on establishing a performance culture through clear outcomes, transparency, and accountability.

    Episode 409: Thinking Time - The Business Owner Hat

    In this podcast episode, Bradley shares a personal story about his journey toward understanding key business financials and strategy, a path that began with self-doubt and a significant learning moment. In a recent conversation with a business owner, he noticed the owner feeling unsure about basic business metrics, such as revenue and customer value. Bradley reassured him by sharing his own experiences of uncertainty early in his career, especially during a pivotal moment in a CEO roundtable group. Bradley shares that being a business owner requires stepping back from the day-to-day of one’s industry to understand and master financials and strategy. By embracing this “business owner hat,” Bradley says, anyone can develop the skills needed to grow a profitable and sustainable company. His story encourages listeners to focus on learning core business skills to reach their long-term goals, whatever they may be. Thanks to our sponsors...
