I have a young woman working in my department. She overachieves, takes on added responsibilities without complaint, and is in everyway a perfect example of an overachieving, superstar, or stellar empl

Something none of you seem to have addressed/considered is the impact the offender had on the person he shared his note with. They may not have complained to the manager but that doesn't mean they weren't uncomfortable being included in the negative behavior. Most employees don't have the intestinal fortitude it takes to stand up to other employees when they are offended. Counseling the offender is the only way to ensure you are correctly addressing this issue so it is not repeated.

A couple of questions that could be asked:
1. What is the future for the stellar performer? That is, will she be up for promotion, or is there a possibility that she will leave and take her high performance elsewhere? What impact would her departure have in either scenario?
2. What is the gap in performance between the subject and other department members? And why has this gap persisted? Not to be mean, but is there a management issue?
3. Its definitely time for some career counselling for the note writer, but should it include not only an action review, but a performance review, since he seems to be behind the curve on that also?
4. This one's stretch, but could it be that in this instance (or others), the stellar employee was blathering on?

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
