"There have definitely been times when I've had to talk to a team member about disappointing work behavior and/or an error that they made. I start by observing and gathering evidence myself so I can provide the individual with immediate feedback so they have the opportunity to fix the problem. If the issue persists, I request a private meeting where I aim to be respectful and professional because I never want someone to feel falsely accused. I listen and try my best to understand their perspective. Then I explain to them why I would like to see a change in their behavior or a fix made to correct their mistake. Together, keeping the focus on how we can best complete the project in a timely and outstanding manner for the client, we create a short-term action plan. This generally leads to a change in the person's behavior. If it doesn't, I approach their manager and we consider what course of action needs to be taken to remedy the problem. At all times, keeping the project on track and the customer happy is of the utmost priority."
