WAIKATO BRANCH: Nudge Conversations with Linda Hutchings

Nudge Conversations!

Ah yes, those conversations! You know the ones, when you see a team member’s performance or behaviour drop below the line. It is easy to think maybe if I just wait… surely they will improve and things will get better. And while we are waiting, hoping and wishing for miracles, the team member’s performance or behaviour is continuing down the slippery slope towards a far more formal conversation!

If ignored, minor performance or behavioural issues in the workplace can become more serious. We know we should say something and we probably know that the earlier we say something the better. And we definitely know that we shouldn’t leave it until it’s been going on for weeks or even months! But knowing what we should do and actually doing it are two entirely different things!

Few of us love raising a performance or behavioural issue with a team member. These can be tricky conversations for sure! Sometimes our fear of saying the wrong thing stops us saying anything. More often or not we don’t know what to say, when to say it and even how to say it. If you found yourself nodding while reading this, then this is the session for you!

Linda has spent over 25 years working out how to have these conversations – early! In this highly practical session she outlines a range of strategies that you can use to nudge team members back in the right direction.
