I believe that…
· Employees are capable of excellence.
· Certain employee behaviors, which do not meet expectations can be improved upon by utilizing a SOLID corrective action process.
· Great leaders recognize individual genius in people, and they know how to ignite it!
· Great leaders must address poor behavior and performance at times to ignite this genius.

“Every coin has two sides.” Just like a coin, every adverse employee act has various corrective action options. Even though a set of black and white guidelines denoting specific actions for every situation would be nice, it is not that easy. Employee behaviors and performance are rarely identical, which requires managers to understand the broader reasons for corrective action. In the end, corrective action exists CORRECT behaviors and/or performance contrary to the organization’s purposes, plans, and outcomes. Managers must understand the context of a team-member’s situation to know how to best utilize corrective action.
