Underperforming team members can be a source of frustration, but remember, it's often a sign of a challenge, not a lack of potential.

As a leader, your role is to guide them back on track, not judge them.

Here's how you can turn stumbles into strides:

Focus on understanding, not blame.

Schedule a one-on-one meeting to discuss their performance openly and honestly.

Actively listen to their perspective, and avoid accusations.

Is it a skill gap? Lack of clarity about expectations? Personal obstacles?
