THE NICE GUY COMMUNITY 

NGS Forums 

NGS Forums provide a vehicle for all of the nice guys and not-so-nice guys to compare notes and experiences. As people post their questions, others have the opportunity to review the issues and respond with their own stories and solutions. Collectively, people can learn from others as they deal with the challenges of being a nice guy in the modern business world. Forums are organized in four capacities; Bill of Rights, People, Situations and Everything else that does not fit.

 

Please join in! Pose a question, answer some else's inquiry, or provide some insight of your own.

There is a guy who works for me and he seems to be consumed with a number of personal issues. Every time I've started to discuss it with him, he hits me with another one of his problems and I feel bad. Generally, he is a good performer, however, the past 3 months have been challenging as he seems to check-out after 2pm.

Any thoughts on how to discuss this with him?

I'd recommend you speak to him about clear and specific objectives that can be measured each week. Let him know that he has an opportunity to shine yet also let him know that you are observing his behavior.

Hope this helps.

As much as you like this guy, you have to separate your personal feelings from the impact that he has on the business. Let him know that it is nothing personal and that you want him to succeed. However, if he doesn't get it together, he has to go.
