Balancing Discipline and Talent

Imagine you are the head of the India Office in a global multinational company. You have an employee who is incredibly talented and brings valuable skills to the table. However, this employee tends to be a little indisciplined, although it hasn't caused any significant trouble for others in the company. Additionally, the employee is quite emotional and may not pick up on indirect signals.

Now, you find yourself in a challenging situation. The Head Office has asked you to take action against this employee due to their indiscipline. However, you genuinely like the person and recognize their contributions. You have given them subtle hints about the need for improvement, but they haven't fully understood your signals.

Should you follow the disciplinary code strictly and take action against the employee, potentially jeopardizing their position and losing their valuable talent? What would you do in this situation, knowing that your decision will shape the future of this employee and impact the dynamics of your workplace?

  1. If taking action doesn't mean removing that person from the company, just giving warning and sort of punishment, I will punish him but at the same time (as I like him) I will make sure he understands rules of the company which he should follow in order to keep his job
