OT - NO POLITICS Turn back the clocks edition

[McGarnagle]

I don't think anybody likes having hard conversations with people who aren't cutting it. But dealing with underperforming individuals is one of the most important things leaders do. The key is catching it and addressing it early, before it gets out of hand. Some leaders will avoid that conversation and hope it'll fix itself, and it rarely ends well.

I've put people on Action Plans, and in a lot of cases, the individual has corrected their behavior, kept their job and thrived. As a leader, that's incredibly rewarding.

....I've also had to show a few to the door. But when I did it, it was with a clear conscience that I did everything within reason to try to help them first.

Do you think Jim Montgomery got put on a PIP?

The REAL question is whether or not Sweeney and Neely are on one now.......

I did not know that, so thank you! I am always open to knowledge.

I'm curious Aussie, what is the most popular brand of chocolate in your part of the world? Also, do you have a chocolatier that I should know about, that maybe hasn't broken the international market yet?

Cadbury is our biggest brand. A UK company of course, but had a local branch here for a long time. Then probably Nestle and Lindt. In terms of truly local producers, there are two that operate at any sort of scale - Haigh's and Darrell Lea. Haigh's in particular make good chocolate but it's still not as good as the Swiss and Belgian stuff and I doubt you could find it anywhere overseas. Worth keeping an eye out for though, especially if you ever venture this way!

Gotta hang a towel ring, three TVs, five speakers, run the front channel wiring of a 5.1 surround, and assemble a big laundry cart for the laundry chute.

I can feel some anxiety building, rapidly, and normally I’ll go into fight or flight mode. In this case, fight means work until i fall asleep, never stopping to sit down at all

Should be a productive day
