Overview
Performance management and development is integral to your team’s success
Regular and meaningful performance and development conversations between a leader and a team member are fundamental to ensuring a high performing team culture in the APS.
Put simply, performance management and development is a two-way process between a leader and employee that is consultative, collaborative, realistic, regular and ongoing. Employees and teams have the resources, training and support they need to develop, appropriate recognition to remain motivated and a clear understanding of what they are accountable for.
However, there are some common misconceptions about performance management that can cause confusion and lead to frustration for both leaders and their teams. Let’s dispel a few of those here to ensure you understand the value of this course and how it can help transform your performance management and development.
Myth 1: Performance management is about managing poor performance
Truth: Performance management works to enhance the performance of all employees in an organisation. The foundation of good performance management enables leaders to effectively coach and develop all employees to perform at their best.Myth 2: People don’t like to be involved in performance management
Truth: Most people want and expect feedback. People work better when expectations have been agreed upon and communicated clearly and when they understand what they are accountable for (and what happens if they are not owning that accountability).Myth 3: It is the manager’s job to set up objectives and goals
Truth: While it is the leader’s responsibility to guide performance management and ensure that appropriate goals are in place, this cannot be achieved without the input and agreement of the employee. All employees should be supported to contribute to their own development and to have a voice. Performance management should be inclusive and an open dialogue without surprises!The information and tools provided in this course set you up for success and will enable you to feel capable with the leadership skills of performance management and development.
