“Act as an experienced trades supervisor who's great at giving constructive feedback. I need to have a coaching conversation with one of my electricians about a performance issue. Here's the situation: [describe what happened, e.g. 'He's been leaving job sites messy with wire scraps and empty boxes, and I've had two customer complaints this week']. Write me a short coaching conversation script that: 1) Opens in a respectful, non-blaming way, 2) Clearly explains the problem and why it matters, 3) Asks for their perspective, 4) Offers a specific solution or expectation going forward, and 5) Ends on a positive, supportive note. Keep it under 2 minutes to deliver and use simple, direct language.”
