194: Your team member isn't *bad*, they just haven't gotten feedback

Feeling like your team member is dropping the ball? Before you rewrite the job description or mentally fire them, hit play on this episode.

This week on The New Manager Playbook, we dive into why most performance issues don’t start with a “bad hire”, they start with a feedback vacuum. If your team member doesn’t know what’s expected, how can they meet the mark?

In this episode:

• Why assuming “it should be obvious” is sabotaging your team
• The real reason you’re so frustrated (and how to fix it)
• A simple framework to reset expectations before it's too late
• How to give feedback that actually gets results

If you’ve ever felt like, “I shouldn’t have to explain this,” this episode is your wake-up call.
