Leila Hormozi

VP: "Employee A is under-performing. They won't last long."
Me: "Did we clearly explain to employee A the expectations for the role?"

VP: "Yes, definitely. Very clearly explained"
Me: "Have you told them as clearly as you have told me?"

VP: "Actually... no. Not that clearly."
Me: "Great, let's have a convo. Let's CLEARLY tell them what those expectations are."



They had the conversation and within two weeks, Employee A's performance was on par with everyone else on the team.

Why is that? They got the skills suddenly? They got more motivated?

They just did not know what good performance looked like. Before making assumptions on why a team member is under-performing. Communicate SUPER effectively the expectations for the role.

Clarity creates speed.
Speed creates progress.
Progress creates momentum.
Momentum makes success inevitable.

agree?

The problem is that a lot of people who are in “leadership” positions do not know how to communicate to others effectively, especially when it’s about work expectations. They think they know how to communicate, but they do not. And then they wonder why people get frustrated with them.

She is literally the best and makes me love the aspects of running a business so much more. Even the boring stuff, there’s still humanity in the mix and you gotta give it the respect it deserves

Leila has to be the best boss ever! Management teams everywhere should pay the Hormozis millions to have their staff trained on how to effectively manage a team!

I was fired from my job recently, I feel it was the “leadership”, didn’t communicate effectively and had nepotism in the office.

And that is the core of the issue. Once the Vice President clearly defines the role, it will become evident that Employee A’s responsibilities have expanded significantly over the past five years. The challenge is not that Employee A is underperforming, but that they are forced to choose between two or three equally critical priorities. Although the Vice President recognizes that Employee A needs additional support, budget constraints — for whatever reason — prevent the addition of new staff. As a result, Employee A is continually faced with an impossible choice: work an extra 20–30 hours a week at home, sacrifice time with family, or fall behind at work. It’s a vicious cycle, and ultimately, Employee A is left exhausted and burned out.

Partially. Most of the time, it is upper-level (leadership) that they don't communicate well. Sometimes, even if they have clear goals, the problem can be laziness, capacity, or intelligence. They can also underperform for other reasons.
