Large universities are prime candidates for spring cleaning structure change problems due to an aversion to through the year performance management and avoidance of crucial conversation regarding observed low performance.

Such dialog could actually save careers, gaining staff the time, tools & training they need to succeed, or at the very least, giving them some feedback that could lead to insights of where they might be better able to succeed.

You reference managers pay — yes, it may have more to do with maintaining status that it does about doing the job with critical competencies.

Top level leadership models of the "right action" along with relentless, good leadership development, can make a big difference.

Although we value quick action, ultimately your integrity will take a hit if:<br /><br />You have to reverse one of the low hanging fruit decisions or <br /><br />You later have to take action out of alignment with a previous rash (low hanging fruit) decision.
