Change is unknown-it is intimidating because we cannot control it. Most managers do not have the experience to manage change effectively with their teams. It trickles from there (or even higher). Addressing poor performance is usually uncomfortable for people and can cause disengagement, or worse, conflict if not handled properly.
There are practical ways you can address this within your organization. It doesn’t require a large budget, but requires practices and a genuine desire to help.
