Dealing with a team member who misses deadlines?
It’s easy to point fingers at the individual, but before jumping to conclusions, let’s zoom out.
As leaders, we need to ask ourselves: Is this issue a symptom of something larger at play?
If our team’s mission and priorities aren’t crystal clear—and just as important, if we haven’t communicated what we’re not doing—people will inevitably drift into work that isn’t aligned with our goals. And that often leads to missed deadlines.
Also, don’t forget: employees sometimes lack the power to push back when new tasks get piled on.?
So, before assuming it’s a matter of poor time management, take a good look at your own leadership and your team’s environment. Are we setting them up to succeed?
Or maybe it’s a little bit of both.
Looking to align your team, set clear priorities, and build a culture of accountability? Let’s chat about how I can help.

A bit about me:
I’m not your typical coach—I bring an innovator's lens to leadership, and I'm hell-bent on helping you become the impactful leader you aspire to be. I've worked in the design industry for over 15 years—as a design consultant, educator, and business leader. I've helped teams at NASA, Cisco, Clorox, and more adopt innovative ways of working. I spearheaded the global expansion of Cooper Professional Education—a leader in design and creative leadership training—to ten countries. Today, I bring my strategic leadership expertise to bear as a certified Leadership + Executive Coach (CPCC, ACC, Applied Neuroscience). I leverage a robust toolkit encompassing design thinking, neuroscience, and learning development to enhance the leadership capabilities of individuals and teams through coaching, team development programs, workshops, and offsites. My mission is to help good people become great leaders—so that they can enhance their influence and reshape the workplace for the better.
