The Situation
You work as a manager at a manufacturing company. One of your direct reports, Scott, has announced that he is retiring by the end of the year. He has had a responsible and complex role in the manufacturing process, so it’s important that you transition seamlessly to working with Scott’s replacement.
While it was nice of him to give ample notice so that you and your company can make a smooth changeover, unfortunately, Scott has been taking a bit of a victory lap.
Motivation Is Low
There’s a lot of transitional planning for Scott to help with, such as selection of a replacement; training that person; and turning over files and other information. But Scott is quite resistant to tackling these tasks. You really need his help, but you are growing impatient as time winds down.
