Chrissy Myers argues that managers should set consistent expectations for the same role, then pair stronger performers with struggling ones as mentors. New managers often lack these skills, causing burnout and turnover of top talent.
If it's the same job, there should be the same expectations. And the better conversation is, you know, Sarah, I know this is an area you struggle in. Margaret, might you help Sarah with this? I know this is your strongest area. You're so good at this. Might you help Margaret with this? New managers don't understand that. They're not familiar enough with how to do that, how to avoid the conflict. Instead, they create conflict. And then they become burned out. And they say, never mind. I'm not doing this anymore. It's terrible. This is a horrible job. I don't ever want to manage people. Yeah. And then they go find another job and you lost an amazing performer.
