\u200bLet’s face it, when you are in charge of a group, there will always be that one person who is lagging a bit behind. Having one person who is a bit behind can set off the entire group dynamic. How do you fix it? How do you bring that person up to pace?<\/p>\n

First, you need to set up a talk with that person. Bring up what he\/she is doing right; what he\/she is good at. You want the person to feel like you are helping him\/her and are interested in their improvement, not just being critical. After, telling the person what he\/she is good at, then tell him\/her what he\/she need to improve on.<\/p>\n

Next, set up a plan on how he\/she can improve. Set up deadlines on when duties should be made, and track the member to keep him\/her accountable. Provide suggestions to help the member become or effective and proactive. Sometimes a little encouragement goes a long way. Show that member that their work and his\/her efforts are valuable and has a large effect on the outcome of the entire group<\/p>\n

Finally, implement it. Track the member’s progress and keep them accountable to the task, and never fail to remind the member that the work he\/she is doing is important and has an effect on other people. In time, that lagging member will rise to be your star player.<\/p>\n
