Every school leader has had that one employee in the back of their mind, the one whose performance has been slipping, the one you are quietly wondering whether you can bring back next year. The problem is most of us avoid that conversation until March, April, or May, when it is far too late to actually help.In this episode of Leadership Lenses, I talk through why the beginning of the school year, not the end, is the moment to have that direct and caring conversation with an employee whose job may be at risk. I share why positive distortion so often derails these conversations, what belongs in a real professional improvement plan, and why ending on a falsely reassuring note does a disservice to everyone involved.This is a practical and honest conversation about one of the hardest parts of school leadership, and why doing it well starts months earlier than most of us think. I can't wait to hear what you take away from this conversation.
