Diagnosing Cause of Performance Issue

Performance Issue Helper

Performance Issue Helper

Decide when and how to raise a performance issue—and what kind of gap it might be.
What’s happening?
Need help diagnosing the cause? (Skill vs Knowledge vs Attitude)
Use these questions to explore whether the issue stems from skill, knowledge, attitude—or the system itself.

🧠 Knowledge Gaps

  • Have expectations been stated clearly?
  • Do they understand why the standard matters?
  • Have they had proper training or examples?
  • Do they know what “good” looks like?
If yes → Provide coaching, resources, or examples to clarify expectations.

🛠 Skill Gaps

  • Have they had enough practice or feedback?
  • Do errors appear under pressure or complexity?
  • Is their performance improving with repetition?
If yes → Offer practice, mentoring, or demonstration opportunities.

❤️ Attitude / Motivation Gaps

  • Do they perform only when observed?
  • Have they expressed disagreement with goals?
  • Do they resist feedback or show negativity?
If yes → Explore root causes privately; align on values and consequences.

📦 Context / System Gaps

  • Are tools or processes blocking success?
  • Are goals realistic given workload?
  • Are there conflicting priorities?
If yes → Fix environmental or leadership issues before addressing individuals.
