Leadership Defense:
Verbal & Documented Disciplinary Interventions

Register Here

“If the managers don’t know what they’re doing, that's your fault. What are you going to do about it?”

Paul Falcone, SHRM 2023


Join Paul Falcone to explore creative approaches to constructive confrontation with employees, including:

  • Constructive conversations that demand greater accountability and raise employee awareness, both in terms of performance and conduct

  • Formal progressive disciplinary documentation techniques to reset expectations and accord due process

  • Structuring terminations and/or layoffs based on the written record at hand

Address problematic performance or conduct challenges head on and in a constructive manner to re-engage employees while holding them fully accountable

Are you challenged by sub-par performers who aren’t holding themselves accountable or who are otherwise skating around their work? Are you feeling frustrated that your management team, as a whole, tends to turn a blind eye to poor performance and sweeps problems under the rug? It’s time to align your leadership team and provide them the leadership tools for holding their team members accountable. And the solution is easier than you think…

Whether your managers require additional support in the areas of verbal engagement or formal corrective action delivery, this workshop will make it easier for them to confront problems at work head on and in a more strategic, yet compassionate and supportive, way. The goal will be to shift responsibility for improvement away from your organization and back to the employee — where it rightfully belongs — all the while protecting your company from the liability inherent in the discipline and termination process.

Great leaders aren’t simply born — leadership is a muscle that can be strengthened over time. It’s time to align your leadership teams in terms of your expectations of how they treat their employees, spike performance, protect the organization, and exercise leadership wisdom that gets their teams to deliver consistently at a higher performance level.

Agenda for Leadership Defense

This webinar will focus on hard-core, in-the-trenches strategies and tactics regarding leadership defense (holding tough conversations, documenting foolproof corrective action, and creating “clean" terminations), and — more importantly — leadership wisdom to align your frontline operational leadership team surrounding this challenging and sometimes perilous engagement. 

  • The core elements of workplace due process and the importance of the written record in the discipline and termination processes
  • Tough conversations to have with employees that invite them to involve themselves in their performance improvement
  • Structuring disciplinary documentation that is constructive and that insulates the organization from legal liability
  • Alternatives to formal progressive discipline that re-engage employees without the formal trappings of “being written up”
  • Leadership landmines to avoid under all circumstances, especially regarding tricky situations that may miss awareness with good-natured yet unsuspecting managers

Interactive Q&A time included

In addition to this popular SHRM 2023 training, Paul will provide thoughtful, thorough, and succinct answers to your employee performance and conduct questions.
