How do you know when it's time to redeploy a team member?
"Underperformance happens. Whether you’re growing a business, part of an existing company or just starting out in a new venture, you quickly discover that there are performers, overperformers, and underperformers. This is par for the course.
But there’s a point for some people where underperformance becomes actual incompetence. Unfortunately, there’s a hard truth about this fact: Leadership is complicit.
This doesn’t mean leadership is incompetent, but that their involvement — or lack thereof — has allowed for incompetence to develop and emerge. This situation is called sanctioned incompetence, one of the most damaging issues an organization can experience. It is contagious and directly affects the productivity and morale of your team.
In short, sanctioned incompetence occurs when a member of your team is underperforming and no corrective action is taken by leadership. Other team members will recognize this situation and assume that underperformance, or even incompetence, is ok and is quietly sanctioned by leadership. As a result, underperformance can spread throughout your organization."
