Think back to physics class for a moment. Remember the difference between kinetic and potential energy? Something like an explosion is an example of kinetic energy. A drawn bowstring, with an arrow aimed at a target, is potential energy. With the right input, all that potential energy turns into kinetic energy, and great things—like hitting the bullseye—can happen.

Sometimes, even with a comprehensive and well-executed performance management process—and a dedicated manager’s best efforts—some employees will fail to meet expectations. But instead of giving up on an employee whose performance is lacking, consider implementing a performance improvement plan (PIP). When executed well and with compassion, a PIP can motivate a struggling employee to improve their performance and recommit themselves to their job and the organization.

Performance review. There are perhaps no other words in the English language that create so much stress for employees. (Well, maybe “we need to talk” is up there, too.) But while performance reviews can be nerve-wracking, they help you bring out the best in your people—and there are ways to make them less stressful. One powerful strategy? Including self-evaluations in every performance review.
