This is hard to do with a learning disability. My boss fired me because I couldn’t perform the tasks I needed because he thought I was dumb. Takes time for me to learn new things.

Two ways how Jesus tackled team members (employees/volunteers etc).

1. Tough Love (Agape)
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Matthew 16:23 ESV

2. Soft Love (Agape)
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
John 21:15‭-‬17 ESV

You're right! We need courageous leaders to say what needs to be said

I work for a company that makes us follow a chart to determine if we should even provide a warning. It's so ridiculous! I can't even write someone up without working with my HR partner.

I watching this person like a hawk, they think they are being bullied. They won’t leave. They’re completely useless.

I’m kinda shocked about the part of constant reminder. This is poor leadership. Yes confront people - agreed. But the constant reminder every single time is quite unwise. Leaders need to also take ownership for engaging employees in the specific ways they each respond best to. I highly doubt the most talented and hardworking yet unengaged employee will ever take well to you confronting them every single time they do something wrong. People need to have space held for them to grow too. While I believe in frequent checkins and honesty I don’t believe in the nagging approach - I may be not grasping it but what is being suggested here is not a frequent checkin but a constant reminder every single time someone is wrong. If the latter is the case I would argue this is poor leadership and rather toxic.

I guess this dude doesn't figure that the rest of his team probably gets tired of picking up the slacker's slack eventually
