Question:
You covered a number of productivity factors in your Dec. 12 column in BizTimes Milwaukee.  One of the toughest challenges I've faced as a manager is dealing with the employee who has the ability to do the job, but doesn't always "put it in gear."  I'd like to see you talk about how to break through to these employees so they deliver all of the time, not just some of the time.  Thanks.
 
Answer:
I'm sure this is a familiar issue to many readers.  Is there a more frustrating performance scenario than the "turn it on, turn if off" employee?  As a manager, you are left to playing guessing games.  Which button should you push?  Will doing so encourage or hinder performance?

During these trying economic times, decisive action is required for departing employees to successfully conduct a new job search and for those who remain to externalize their survivor feelings and move forward into productivity.  If you anticipate or have recently conducted a Reduction in Force (RIF) or business line closure, contact us for Appreciative Outplacement & Career Transition Services.
