You’ve been rewarded in your career for being able to talk your way into (or out of) anything.

The group easily understood the importance of giving both positive and constructive feedback to employees, and about the need to do so quickly (within 24 hours). What they were struggling with was the “how.” In other words, how, exactly, do you give someone negative feedback that is CONstructive rather than DEstructive?

[Read part 1 of the series](https://blog.eosworldwide.com/blog/leadership-accountability-effective-employees).* Performance management is an ongoing challenge in most organizations. Managers spend hours huddled over spreadsheets, analyzing employee performance metrics, looking for ways to improve performance and boost production. When mistakes happen – and they do happen – the bulk of the blame is often shoved off onto the employee. What leaders often fail to acknowledge is their role in the errors. Here are two ways leadership can develop employees for greater performance.

Sadly, this glib comment validates what Gallup has been stating for years. [Employee engagement levels](http://www.gallup.com/poll/188144/employee-engagement-stagnant-2015.aspx) have hovered around 30% since about 2000, with the most recent statistic at 32% in 2015. Engaged employees are enthusiastic about their work, dedicated to the success of the company and willing to go the extra mile to ensure it succeeds. They can take a company from good to great.
