Chronic Missed Deadlines
$17
Chronic Missed Deadlines is the fourth conversation script in The Manager Conversation Playbook series. It's a complete, word-for-word framework for the employee who always has a reason — and you always find out on the due date instead of before it.
This resource is for you if you're looking to:
Get ahead of missed deadlines instead of finding out when it's too late
Turn "almost done" into a real, trackable commitment
Set an early-warning system without becoming the manager who chases
Inside you'll find:
Conversation prep
Word-for-word manager scripts
Responses to common employee reactions
The "confidence, one to ten" technique for catching risk early
Follow-up email template
Documentation example
HR expert tips and common mistakes to avoid
One-page quick-reference card for the five minutes before you walk in
This is the fourth of eight conversation guides in the Manager Conversation Playbook series, designed to help managers lead with confidence — one conversation at a time.
