60-second prep card
I want to talk about the gap I am seeing between the expectation and what has happened over the past month.
My goal is to be clear about the expectation and make sure you know what support is available.
You need to do better.
Expectation Reset
The change I need is earlier communication and more consistent follow-through on internal deadlines.
Met with the employee to discuss recent performance concerns. Reviewed inconsistent work over the past month, including two missed internal deadlines, rework needed by the team, and lack of early communication when work was behind. Clarified expectations for meeting internal deadlines, communicating early when at risk, and using support before quality or timing issues escalate. Discussed support options and agreed on an earlier progress check before the next deliverable.
