[Webinar] Why your managers are tolerating underperformance

We’ve all seen it:

• The employee everyone knows isn’t carrying their weight.
• The one who drags the team down with passive-aggressive or unproductive behavior.
• The genuinely kind person who just can’t meet the bar—again and again.

And yet… no one steps in. Not even their manager.

Tune into this session to hear Melanie Naranjo (Chief People Officer, Ethena) break down why underperformance often goes unaddressed—and what to do about it.

We dug into:

• The real reasons managers avoid tough conversations
• How to approach underperformance with empathy and clarity
• Actionable strategies you can start using right away

Walk away with a clearer path to stronger performance, healthier teams, and better leadership.

This is the session for you, if you’re:

• A manager who’s avoided a performance conversation (and felt guilty about it)
• Supporting or coaching managers who struggle to address underperformance
• Navigating the balance between empathy and accountability on your team
• Seeking practical tools—not just theory—for handling tough employee dynamics
• Building a healthier performance culture, one conversation at a time
