Yesterday in a client session, something came up that I had to bring straight to the show. A business owner with multiple thriving locations told me her approach to underperformance: she has the conversation right away. No waiting, no managing around it, no hoping it fixes itself.That conversation led me straight to the question at the center of this episode: what are you willing to tolerate? Because whatever you're allowing to keep happening, you're also communicating is acceptable. And the cost of that — financially and culturally — compounds faster than most leaders realize.In this episode you will learn:Why your business will only ever rise to the level of what you're willing to tolerateWhat it actually costs you to let underperformance go unaddressed — and why the real loss is your high performers, not your low onesHow to have the "are you in or are you out" conversation with clarity and empathyWhy the people who are genuinely bought in can hear hard feedback — and what it means when they can'tWhy giving clear feedback and putting the decision back on them changes everything about how this feelsConnect with me: Website: www.liagarvin.com Email: [email protected] Instagram: @lia.garvin LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/liagarvinLooking for support for yourself of your team?
