Addressing Underperformance in Business
Many individuals in the workforce resort to lying, hiding, and faking due to the fear of repercussions such as job loss or stagnation in career progression. Unlike in sports where poor performance is immediately visible, business allows for deception more easily. Successful teams in sports address performance issues by helping individuals regain confidence and work on their skills. This approach recognizes the importance of both psychological and skill components in addressing underperformance. In contrast, in business, underperforming employees are often screamed at, fired, or not promoted without acknowledging the psychological and skill components involved. Effective leaders understand the significance of addressing both aspects to support struggling employees.
