Free Performance Analysis Flow Chart

Not all performance issues are training issues.
This one-page decision tree helps you pinpoint the real reason behind a performance gap and choose the right behavioral solution. Based on the classic Mager & Pipe model, this chart guides you step-by-step through whether to train, coach, reinforce, restructure, or just get out of the way.

What You’ll Get:

- Clear yes/no flow logic
- Classic behavioral diagnostics (e.g., skill deficiency, reinforcement, punishment)
- Helps avoid wasting time on the wrong intervention

Use it to:

• Diagnose the root cause of performance challenges

• Guide supervision conversations with data and empathy

• Decide between feedback, training, reinforcement, or environmental changes

• Avoid defaulting to “just train them again”
