Day 3.
Day 1 you named the decision you have been avoiding.
Day 2 you named the system that only exists inside your head.
Today we go after the one that is going to make you the most uncomfortable.
Your team.
Specifically the person on your team who you already know is not operating at the standard your business needs.
You know who I am talking about.
You have known for a while.
Maybe months.
Maybe longer.
And every week you have found a reason to let it go another week.
They have been here a long time.
The timing is not right.
Things will get better once the busy season is over.
You do not want to have the conversation.
I have heard every version of it and I have said most of them myself.
Here is what I know to be true after building and leading teams for over two decades.
Every day you allow someone to operate below the standard your business requires you are making a decision.
You are just making it passively.
And passive decisions are still decisions.
They just cost more because by the time you finally act the damage is already compounded.
Your team watches how you handle underperformance more closely than they watch anything else you do as a leader.
When you allow it, you are not being kind.
You are telling every other person on your team that the standard is negotiable.
That effort is optional.
That mediocrity has a place in this business as long as someone has been here long enough or the timing is inconvenient.
That message travels fast and it costs you people you cannot afford to lose.
The men who build elite teams are not the ones who never hire the wrong person.
They are the ones who deal with it fast when they do.
Here is Day 3.
I want you to name one person or one role in your business that is currently operating below the standard your company needs to get to the next level.
You do not have to name them publicly.
But I want you to write in the comments what the situation is costing your business right now.
Revenue. Time. Team morale. Your own energy.
Name the cost.
Because until you can say the cost out loud you will keep paying it quietly.
