Engage high solid performers in collaborative conversations.

60 – 70% of individuals in our organizations are solid performers, making them the backbone of every organization. When we give them our best, they will give their best to us and our organizations. This week, Dr. Pilcher discusses how to connect with your solid performers. When you give solid performers feedback the right way, a relationship is built that will retain, motivate, and inspire your direct reports.

This episode addresses questions, such as:

  • How can I help develop and provide support to my solid performing employees?
  • How do I retain the majority of my direct reports?
  • What is the best way to provide feedback to my solid performers?

Connecting with Solid Performers is the seventh episode in a series describing the performance curve and performance conversations, beginning with Ep. #16 High Performers: Who Are They?.
