Give Credit when it's due

Program words of wisdom:-
"Feedback is the breakfast of champions." To perform well, we need feedback to ensure we are on the right track of progress regardless it's positive or negative.


Frequent communication---- not the yearly appraisal -----is the answer to managing a staff performance in your Program Team.

The brutal truth is everybody (or at least 80%) honestly believe they did their best and their performance to be in the top quartile!

- Constant communication and feedback about performance and praise good work to ensure goals are clear and expectation understood

- Performance management is everyday.

- Provide positive and constructive feedback to be specific and reinforcing your requirement. Never negative and critical.

- 2 way performance review and encourage staff to do most of the talking if possible.

- encourage a policy of "No Surprises". Any performance problems should be honestly dealt with immediately

- Build good relationship by delivering what you say you could. Trust is earned.

- Analyse problem, not personality, so keep them separate. You will hate some and like some people.

- Judge on the overall performance, not on some specific incidences.

- Be prepared with facts to resolve.

-Start with his strengths, encourage where deserved and move gradually to the problem area.

- Follow-up what you wanted.
