This Free Prep Sheet is a tool developed for you, to help you have difficult conversations with your employees confidently.
This is a one-page sheet you fill out before any hard talk:
The purpose of the conversation, in one sentence
The observable facts, with no labels like “bad attitude”
The impact on the team or the work
The clear expectation going forward
The support you’ll offer
Their likely reaction and how you’ll respond
Your opening line, and the agreement you’ll close on.
