Factual Background

Congratulations. You have just been promoted to a Senior Manager position in the Finance Department. You now supervise five (5) employees who process payroll for a large successful publishing company. You have worked for the company for six (6) years and you’ve worked alongside the employees you now supervise the entire time.

You consider these coworkers who are now your subordinates as some of your closest friends. You often socialized after work, attended events together, and truly got along well with everyone – except for Jimmy – who habitually uses profanity, and dresses formally in an informal office environment. His work performance is also lower than the others, and he often tries to minimize his performance issues by using off-color humor. He usually goes along to all the social events, but you sometimes feel uncomfortable around him.

You are now required to conduct performance reviews for your team, but you have pre-existing negative feelings towards Jimmy, and very positive feelings toward the other coworkers.

Your Assignment:

Given your pre-existing feelings towards Jimmy and your other coworkers, how will you measure their performance fairly? As you prepare for the performance feedback session with Jimmy, which you want to be effective to change performance, what steps would you take to achieve this goal?
