Sure, you want to inspire them to heroic achievement, yet most days you’re lucky if you can just get them to get the job done at all. Plus, you’re so busy with dozens of other pressing responsibilities that you often don’t notice an employee’s performance is floundering until it’s too late and the damage is done.
