Yes, I told them where we see areas for improvement. They have not taken any action. In our 1:1s they say something like, I still looking into it or I haven't decided what I want to do. My gut tells me they are not interested or motivated to learn new skills outside their comfort zone.

Personally, monetary comp is only part of my motivation. I think this person's main priority is monetary. I was wondering how else, can I motivate a person.

I am sure I worded my original response incorrectly, but I don't care about hours logged. We don't track that stuff, nor is it important. I am aware that their workload is diminished, because their junior associate is taking the brunt of the work. I expected my direct report to step up and play a more strategic role, naturally. Instead they micro manage the associate.

The more I think about it, maybe my employee is not quiet mature enough to take on new responsibilities. I was also hoping my employee would be proactive with their own career pathing - most everyone is. I guess that is a bad on me. I need to help them with a tactical guide to success. Otherwise, they might flounder.

Thanks everyone. You helped me think through this one.
