The Payoff

With quality management time, a little hands-on mentoring and encouragement, I helped him recover, and he has become a very successful technical manager. He's not an "A" player in the management role yet but that comes with experience. I now have confidence that he will grow into the role.

Another thing I've learned is that while you can't salvage everyone, especially those who don't want to be saved, we probably need to make a greater effort to save some of those "C" players in our organizations. Fortunately, if you've done the right thing in trying to grow your employees, in the event that things just don't work out, you have a documented trail of performance weaknesses and your attempts to remedy those gaps. That should satisfy any HR administrator or union honcho, and sometimes it's in everyone's best interest to just move on.
