Sheila Jensen replied to Sheila Jensen's discussion 'Problem Employee'"Thanks everyone for your advise. I did have another meeting with this employee and set out what I wanted exactly from him, both sales and on the air. I didn't beat around the bush. So now it is up to him - if he goes back to his usual working…"
Mark A. Waddington replied to Sheila Jensen's discussion 'Problem Employee'"Make sure you have outlined in exact terms what is expected of this employee.

Chris Rolando replied to Sheila Jensen's discussion 'Problem Employee'"You have two choices.... one is to make a list of thin gs and beat him over the head with it. That is fine if you want to kill his moral or fire him. Other than that he will just put his back up.
