Diagnose the Gap Before Correcting It
When someone struggles, leaders often respond by repeating the instruction more forcefully.
But the correct response depends on the cause.
Is this a Mindset issue?
They do not believe the goal is possible or necessary.
Is it a Motivation issue?
They do not see sufficient purpose, ownership or consequence.
Is it a Methods issue?
They want to succeed but lack the knowledge, skill, process or resources.
Training will not correct every attitude problem. Accountability will not teach a missing skill. Inspiration will not repair a broken process.
Which of the three is actually preventing the result you need?
Better diagnosis leads to better coaching.
If your team’s performance has plateaued, schedule a 1:1 conversation and let’s identify the real gap.
Keep making a difference.
