In this course, you’ll learn about the things you can do to ensure your meeting stays focused on the issue.

Your approach should be professional and focused on work performance. Do not get sidetracked or swayed by emotional responses. Outline performance and conduct expectations and let the employee know that there are consequences for failing to meet those expectations.
