Praying before, during and after every stage is as much a part of your role as anything else &#8211; searching your heart for anything that would unhelpfully contribute to the situation and asking the Holy Spirit to guide you as you navigate the process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we think about managing performance in our organisations, it\u2019s important to consider not only the reactive measures and processes we need, but to start with the culture we create and the LDHR systems that are already in place to support, guide and enhance staff performance when all is going well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, we will start with elements of <\/span><b>the culture we shape<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><b>LDHR<\/b> <b>interventions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are part of regular staff life, before looking at <\/span><b>what might be<\/b> <b>behind underperformance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and addressing it in a developmental context, and finally <\/span><b>addressing unresolved poor performance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a disciplinary context.\u00a0 The \u2018Culture Foundations\u2019 and \u2018LDHR Preparations\u2019 are <\/span><b>proactive measures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211;
