Leading Expertise At Your Fingertips
My name is Thomas Cox, founder of The Best Boss Institute and creator of The PIP Guy. I help managers write fair and effective Performance Improvement Plans.
Most managers struggle with PIPs. They’re too often vague, rushed, and can feel unfair. A bad PIP can harm the whole team.
I’ve spent years perfecting a step-by-step method to create clear, actionable PIPs that are easy for a manager to stand behind, and that actually guide employees toward real improvement.
My mission is simple: help managers lead with love, integrity, clarity, fairness, and confidence - turning tough conversations into growth opportunities for all.
