Clinical professor Brooke Vuckovic shared how to give negative feedback at work. Whatever the problem, their performance is not up to par—which means it's time for a tough conversation. So as you prepare for a tough conversation about your employee's performance—and prepare you must—what should you keep in mind? Commit to listening well and staying attunedIn the drive to plow through to the end of the conversation, leaders too often fail to think through the skills required to foster a productive discussion. But even if the conversation is going quite smoothly, it is important to wrap up in a way that feels complete.
Anyone who's ever curled up with a good book knows the health benefits of regular recreational reading. There's a single tweak you can make to your reading habits to become even more successful, says Northwestern management professor Brooke Vuckovic, who teaches a MBA class on extracting leadership lessons from literature. Her tip: After you've finished reading a new book, try describing it in one sentence.

"Small triggers may affect your mental health," like when cofounders are angry at one another or when the staff is underperforming, he said. "When you don't deal directly with problematic employees, you're sending the clear message to others that their work doesn't matter," she said.
She says that quiet quitting isn't a new phenomenon but it can be very harmful to company culture and morale. One of the best ways to fight quiet quitting is to focus on your "star players" instead, she says. What is new, however, is the not-so-quiet part of quiet quitting: quiet quitters are increasingly announcing their status proudly on social media, thanks largely to a TikTok video on the subject that went viral. Now, it is estimated that quiet quitters make up 50% of the US workforce. Don't "quiet fire"It's tempting to fight fire with fire — or silence, in this case, with withdrawing — but try to resist that.
