On “To PiP or not to PiP?”

Before going to a PIP, have you tried giving very clear feedback using the situation/behavior/impact model? I also found this “giving feedback leading up to firing someone” script to be VERY helpful. It starts at ~2:03:30. link to this video It’s basically the situation/behavior/impact, but gives a clear example of how to do it well and how to escalate if the person just isn’t responding.
