Average Manager vs Great Manager

1. Tough Conversations on Performance Feedback

Missed Targets:

  • Average Managers Do This:
    You didn't hit your quarterly sales targets. Again. This is unacceptable.

  • Great Managers Do This:
    Let's review what specific challenges prevented you from reaching your targets and help you get there.

2. Collaboration Gaps:

  • Average Managers Do This:
    You're not a team player. Your colleagues constantly complain about working with you.

  • Great Managers Do This:
    How can I support you in building stronger, more productive relationships?

3. Productivity Decline:

  • Average Managers Do This:
    You're always late with deliverables. This is unprofessional.

  • Great Managers Do This:
    I've noticed some challenges with project timelines. Let's assess your workflow to help you manage effectively.

4. Communication Issues:

  • Average Managers Do This:
    You're too blunt and need to work on your communication.

  • Great Managers Do This:
    The 360-degree feedback revealed that teammates find your communication style challenging. Would you be open to some targeted communication coaching?

5. Career Growth:

  • Average Managers Do This:
    I don’t see any opportunity for you to move to another team and there’s no backfill.

  • Great Managers Do This:
    I see significant potential in your skill set. Let's map out a development plan that aligns with your aspirations.
