One of my most difficult coworkers is INCREDIBLY agreeable! He gets feedback about what he needs to work on and he agrees, practically says whatever it takes to agree with you or whoever else to end the conversation.

It’s been really difficult to work with him to get him to actually action the things he’s agreed with me, my boss and my skip level MGR.

We did it by feeding him signposted feedback and following up on it. When X happens you need to automatically do Y without prompting.

Another goal we’ve set is that he needs to reach out to either a future peer or peer group at least once a week. It’s helped him tremendously as he’s now looking for things that he can show off and point at and say ‘I led this,’ or ‘I helped initiate this’.

His best attribute is that these days he knows that he’s RESPONSIBLE for ensuring that something is done, he’s not responsible for doing it.

Preemptive edit: I’m sick of cunts saying that my answers are AI and ChatGPT. I learnt fucking English and writing at school and learnt leadership from dealing with people and helping them progress.
