I share the story of Jordan, a first-time manager who hesitated to address declining performance, leading to bigger issues down the line. I encourage you to think about a conversation you&apos;re avoiding and rate its potential cost on a scale of 1 to 10. If it&apos;s a 7 or higher, I invite you to explore the Manager&apos;s Script Vault, where you&apos;ll find actionable scripts and tools to handle these conversations confidently. Let&apos;s stop paying the hidden tax of avoided conversations and lead our teams effectively.</description></oembed>
