Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fear that discipline can harm performance is not a reason for reluctance to use discipline. In fact, discipline can improve performance by setting clear expectations and consequences for not meeting those expectations. Lack of support by higher management, guilt because they committed the same actions before they became managers, and concern that discipline will harm personal relationships with subordinates are all common reasons for reluctance to use discipline.
