Address the Situation

Now that you've identified the bad performers, and know you have to address the situation, let's discuss how to do it. A leader must define bad performance and great performance, and show the team what they both look and feel like. It is important that the team understands the great challenges that bad performance creates, and why it is imperative for the leader to remove those challenges. This will explain to each employee why bad performances will no longer be acceptable, so when you address it in the future, everyone will understand why. As a leader, you need to show the level of importance each team member plays in the success of the organization, and the opportunities a poor economy brings.
