Is there someone on your team who is not performing the way you need them to? Someone you know you need to do a better job of holding accountable? Someone you need to have “the talk” with?

Spoiler alert: this conversation isn’t about ruling with an iron fist. It’s not even about giving into all your peoples’ needs. I even did a little role playing with her so you can hear what this sounds like in practice. Check out the full episode by clicking the link below.BTA221
