Discipline Without Punishment

The Proven Strategy That Turns Problem Employees into Superior Performers

By: Dick Grote

Narrated by: Steven Roy Grimsley

The original edition of Discipline Without Punishment introduced a positive approach for getting problem employees to meet - and often even exceed - job requirements. The book still delivers on that promise, and in this revised edition, Dick Grote provides new insights, along with sample dialogues, memos, and worksheets. Grote's revolutionary method helps listeners:

• Avoid confrontational, anger-provoking sessions
• Prepare for and conduct performance improvement discussions that enhance relationships and emphasize problem-solving
• Create and administer the entire disciplinary process, including a paid leave of absence as a final chance to commit to better performance

This proven guidebook, from one of the country's leading experts on performance management, will help any organization get potentially great employees back on track.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Any additional comments?

Anyone who is looking for a different approach to handling disciplinary actions needs to read this book.

Good book.

Found the idea to be very innovative. lots of useful information even if you can't change the current program you can still use the ideas on how to deal with employees.

Good Approach to Discipline

Based on the Title I though this is another Liberal BS. But I was pleasantly surprised with the overall approach to Discipline without Punishment. The emphasis on making the people personally responsible is a better approach to Punishment with unpaid offs. It always helps make people take responsibility for their actions. It is good to get rid of bad apples that spoil the entire organization. I recommend this book to managers who supervise a small group of employees.

Great tool!

I really like this no-nonsense approach and the author's clarity in implementing the program. The approach puts the decision for acceptable performance in the employee's hands. The author does a great job of covering the basics and supporting processes and addressing challenges to the approach. I listen to books continuously and rarely leave a review but I feel this book is so well written and could help so many managers. Managers like myself who have struggled with poor performers for years and new supervisors who could benefit from from a simple and effective approach.
