I was that designer. I’d always deliver, but always last minute. No one gave much care cause it was mostly well received work that I put my heart into. But now I wish I learned better time management systems when I was more junior. It’s a struggle now that I’m older and have more responsibilities as a CD.
Help them!
Time to lean into your job.
Find out what motivates them. Outline how and why they operate adversely affects the team. Set goals. Outline expectations.
In the short term, things are fine. But long term, that MO becomes a bad influence and will affect those far less skilled. Stem that mess off at the pass before your group becomes a mess of discontent.
Mentor
I’ve been there. The convo went something like this. “I think the work you are doing is excellent. I have high expectations for you and I think you are going to amazing things. But…. You are letting these time management issues become the story instead of the work you are doing. There is zero chance of this not holding back your career if we don’t figure it out. What can I do to help?
I would also suggest short weekly 1:1’s where you work with them directly on how they can get better.
I mean, I am sure there are a lot of ways to address this, but the above approach has worked for me.
Mentor
Oh. And never overlook areas teams and team members are under performing. Address it at first sign. Always.
Time management is part of the deal so I’d def have a chat.
If they want to continue progressing in their career it’s time to stop babying them and share with them how crucial it is for them to get their shit together now (along with some time management tips you might have). I’ve had to have similar conversations (sometimes multiple tones) but eventually “this is the only thing that’s holding you back” is something to pay attention to
*multiple times, not multiple tones
If it needs to be coached, coach it. Leaving it be will only hurt them as they try to move forward and hinder you in the process. Think of all of the mentors who gave you tough love conversations to help you get the most out of your talents. Channel that.
It's your job. Help them grow up/out of it.
