Some managers I have observed try to manage emotions/feelings with their staff and are not equipped to do so. As a leader, you certainly want to be empathetic, but emotions/feelings may best be left to a professional therapist.
Your role as a leader is to help your staff stay focused to accomplish their objectives, and that requires you to design and manage agreements. After all, that is what a performance review is…an agreement in which certain goals and objectives have been laid out for your staff to meet. You, as a leader, have also made a commitment: to do certain things that will facilitate the success of your direct report.
