What Do We Do About Solid, Mediocre Performers?

Dec 3, 2024

In this episode of Mike on the Mic, I tackle one of the most challenging issues in leadership: handling "solid, mediocre performers." While high and low performers receive most of our attention, it's the steady but unremarkable team members who often go unaddressed—potentially holding back organizational excellence. We explore strategies for boosting performance, including weekly one-on-ones, productivity coaching, and even role adjustments to better suit strengths. For those in essential roles, we discuss when it's time to consider "coaching out" as a last resort. Join me for an in-depth look at creating a great team and empowering every team member to reach their potential.
