Summary
As a leader, you don't have a choice. You have to have the hard conversations. In this episode, we're addressing feedback from two listeners about our recent series on managing underperformers: I'm afraid the underperformer will quit if I bring it up, and I can't afford to lose them. What if *I* am the problem? Then we shift into something that shows up in every workplace: passive aggressive behavior, what it actually looks like, and how to address it directly without blowing up the relationship. If you've been tiptoeing around a difficult person at work, this episode will help you figure out your next move.
