• Don’t you wish everyone on your team were a top performer?
• How amazing would that be – if everyone were driven, motivated, hard-working, and contributed to the team effort with little to no setbacks?

Even stellar teams have middling employees. You know, people who’d rather just do the absolute minimum that’s required, and go home.

Trouble is, you have projects to manage, and deadlines to meet.

What if there was a way to energize and re-engage your under-performing, unproductive, unmotivated employees…

In this webinar Shawn Stratton (LinkedIn profile) will uncover 5 reasons why people underperform, and  ways to turn the tide and turn them into productive team members who actually contribute to the effort.

Here’s what you’ll learn at the event:

• 3 reasons employees underperform (these are not what you think)
• Why you want to support underperformers instead of punishing them or ignoring them
• The difference between an underperformer and a poor performer (yes, they’re not the same)
• How to identify underperformers before they become an issue and avoid hiring them in the first place.

To be an effective leader you need to be able to identify and manage your underperformers, or they will end up managing YOU!
