Ask any Team Leader, supervisor or Manager what is the most challenging part of their job and they will probably explain the daily frustration caused when trying to ensure that each individual in a team performs to their optimum. When probing further to try and discover the reason that managing the performance of individuals is such an issue you will probably be given reasons such as recruitment decisions, inadequate training and lazy or incompetent employees. These problems certainly in many cases will contribute to poor performance but the effective management of people is the key to ensuring that the contribution of every employee towards the corporate goals and objectives is maximised.
