Influence and Onboard Decision Makers and Key Players
It should be easy to convince people to move on from annual reviews and ratings. Few people rave about their organization’s amazing performance management process. Yet, some have difficulty imagining a process that doesn’t involve annual reviews and ratings. It’s all they’ve ever known.
The advice to managers of “Give feedback early and often” is a form of continuous performance management. However, only 6% of managers are adept at having open performance dialogues. We will guide you in going beyond just advising managers to provide feedback. Our tools, training, and simple process enable regular conversations.
The right continuous performance management process will improve communication between employees and managers. Conversations should go beyond the typical 1:1 discussions about projects, tasks, and updates. Employees should have built-in opportunities to discuss topics such as manager support, career/development interests, and barriers so that the manager is tuned in to the employee’s needs.
Set the stage for employees and managers to work collaboratively with a simple, quick preparation process that ensures meaningful performance development conversations between the manager and employee. Our method is called the 10-Minute Questions Conversation (10MQ). The prep work is five to ten minutes, tops. The meeting, guided by pre-selected questions, takes about 10 minutes and concludes with action items.
