These typical mistakes can jeopardize the success of your conversation. Recognize them early and respond professionally.
You find yourself jumping from topic to topic. "Oh, and one more thing..." The conversation becomes chaotic, and important points get lost. Our AI suggests: "Today, we will discuss three points: performance, development goals, and next steps." A clear agenda creates focus and direction.
You talk 80% of the time. "Let me explain how I see it..." The employee becomes passive, and their perspective goes unheard. Our AI suggests: "How do you view your performance this quarter?" Asking questions and actively listening turns conversations into genuine exchanges.
You formulate your feedback in ambiguous terms. "You should try harder." Without measurable goals, there is no clear direction for improvement. Our AI suggests: "By the end of next month, I expect weekly status updates on your projects." Concrete, measurable agreements create clarity.
When faced with opposition, you may become insecure or feel the need to justify yourself. "But as a leader, I must..." The conversation turns into a power struggle instead of focusing on problem-solving. Our AI suggests: "I understand your perspective. Let's work together to find a solution." Maintaining composure and looking ahead strengthens the relationship.
