You inherit an employee who has a history of performance challenges, and the previous manager has not addressed and\/or documented the behaviors. As a result, you are &#8220;starting from scratch&#8221; with the employee\u2014unable to use any performance examples from the past to help the employee improve their performance.\u00a0 The employee may have been a poor performer for some time but no one has ever discussed the issue with him or her.\u00a0 You are now expected to address the situation.\u00a0 When managers &#8220;pass the buck&#8221; they create the &#8220;inheritance surprise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can avoid the inheritance surprise by following these simple practices:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>Discuss performance issues with employees when the issues arise.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t wait for a &#8220;good time&#8221; to raise a concern. There is never a good time except for now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Document the discussions and agreements you have with the employee in your working file.\u00a0 These notes help you and the employee remember the agreements you\u2019ve made.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>If your organization&#8217;s policies allow it, pass your working file to the employee&#8217;s new manager when the employee leaves your work unit. Passing the file along allows the inheriting manager pick up where you\u2019ve left off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>When you inherit a new employee, review the notes made by the previous manager. You may also want to look at the employee&#8217;s past performance evaluations.\u00a0 If there were performance challenges in the employee&#8217;s history, discuss those with the employee immediately to establish common ground and a plan for moving forward productively.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Have an &#8220;expectation-setting conversation&#8221; with all new employees as soon as you begin working together. Your job is to prepare the employee for success, and success must be clearly defined if you are going to help the employee achieve it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We can eliminate the &#8220;inheritance surprise&#8221; by practicing effective performance management.\u00a0 When you do a good job of managing employee performance, you benefit, the employee benefits, the organization benefits, and so does the manager who follows you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever experienced the inheritance surprise?
