Strategies for Being Firm Yet Fair

Let's get into some specific strategies for applying this principle effectively:

• Set Clear Expectations:
  Ensure that team members understand what is expected of them in terms of tasks, performance, and behavior. This clarity helps in holding them accountable for their actions.
• Provide Feedback Regularly : Offer constructive feedback on a regular basis, both positive and corrective. Let your team members know when they're meeting expectations and when they re falling short.
• Be Consistent: Treat all team members fairly and consistently. Avoid playing favorites or applying different standards to different indi-viduals.
• Listen Actively: When addressing issues or concerns, listen actively to your team members'® perspectives. This demonstrates fairness and helps in finding solutions that work for every-one.
• Offer Support and Resources: Ensure that your team has the necessary resources, training, and support to meet expectations. If someone is struggling, offer assistance and guidance to help them improve.
• Use a Progressive Approach: Start with coaching and mentorship to help team members improve their performance. If issues persist, gradually escalate to more formal corrective actions.
