The Talent Trap: Why New Employees Are Not Meeting Expectations. (The Worksheet)

You are hiring good people. 

Skilled people. 

Talented people. 

Motivated people. 

These people will make your business better, no doubt. 

But then why are they still making mistakes?

Why is the work not up to the standard you expect?

It’s more than skill, talent, and motivation

Because they can’t do it all on their own. 

A good job happens when you match skill, talent, and motivation to structure, direction, and resources. 

If your new employees bring the first three attributes, the rest has to come from you. 

On day one of their onboarding, you should be explaining to them:

  • How your company works
  • What you expect them to achieve
  • How to communicate and manage information 

Give your new employees guidance

Use this week’s worksheet to prepare your conversation with new hires. 

Make sure you explain the value of their role, the impact you expect it to have on the business, and how they should communicate and collaborate.
