1. Help set goals for your employee.
2. Evaluate progress toward said goals.
3. Provide insightful praise and criticism.
4. If progress is made, then goto 1. Else goto 5.
5. If problem is short-term (goto 1) or long-term (goto 7).
6. Evaluate termination. If no termination, then 1. Else 7.
7. Terminate relationship with employee.
Also I think the point is that 2 is not nearly as straight forward as it sounds and probably requires better knowledge of the problem and solution than the employee has.
