Low performers • Question: What are the biggest problems with the “low-performing employee” mindset?
Rule 1: Refocus inputs to outputs • But I work so hard… • I come in early… • I stay late… • You made a great presentation… • You sent a brilliant email… • You arranged a flawless training event… • You wrote the perfect benefits letter…
Two ways to add value • Increase Revenue • Reduce Costs • HR’s new role: deliver work worth paying for • “Worth” is when Value > Cost
Rule 2: Everyone involved • You’re in a bigger game than you think! • Be willing to influence… and BE influenced • Go to non-experts for some answers • Full involvement means full ownership • People don’t argue with their own ideas
