Doing Your Job

You have a goal. Everyone on the team knows the goal and they all worked together to come up with the plan that would get them there.

Now everyone is working the plan. Except for John.

You and others on the team are having to jump in to get his work done and it’s cutting down on the entire team’s productivity.

You hesitate to say anything to him. You don’t want to be too hard on him because he’s having a tough time at home. So – you keep hoping things will change soon and he will start doing his job.

What about you?

When are you going to do your job?

You know – the part that includes coaching John to be proficient in his job so that your team can be successful.
