NOT Meeting Expectations
Appraisals are where you get together with your team
leader and agree what an outstanding member of the
team you are, how much your contribution has been
valued, what massive potential you have and, in
recognition of all this, would you mind having your
salary halved.

The “Terrible Toos” Of Performance Reviews
Adapted from: Fearless Performance Reviews: Coaching Conversations That Turn
Every Employee into a Star Player,
Jeffrey Russell and Linda Russell (McGraw-Hill 2014)
Too much at stake.
Too judgmental.
Too often – uncomfortable
truths.
Too much fixing blame.
Too few managers are skilled at
them.
Too much uncertainty.
Too little control.
Too many one-way
conversations.

Clearly, the annual performance review was designed
for a work environment where control of individual
employee performance was a key function.
In today's team and collaborative environment, that
perspective no longer makes sense.

5 Keys to Effective
Performance Management
Identify and Use
Competencies
Set Clear Goals
Honest and Objective
Appraisal
Determine Key Job
Responsibilities
Continuous Feedback
and Coaching
Does the goal you are setting promote goals you’ve set for
the team and organization as a whole?
Set Clear Goals
Difficult, yet attainable for
the employee?
Can you measure it?
1.What will success look like for me?
2.How will I know?
For each employee the goals should answer
two questions:
Determine Key Job Responsibilities
• What key behaviors lead to success?
• How can the manager support improved
performance?
• Play to employee’s strengths
Managers have unique opportunities in their daily interactions with
employees to empower them to discover and develop their strengths,
and they have the ability to position employees in roles where they can
do what they do best every day…
…Employees who feel engaged at work and who are able to use their
strengths in their jobs are more productive and profitable and have
higher quality work.

MY – WAY MINDSET COLLABORATIVE MINDSET
I am right; you are wrong.
In every situation
and in every
relationship you
choose a position
on this mindset
continuum.
I have something to learn.
I’m in charge; you’re not. People are doing their best.
My version of the truth is the right
one.
I only know part of the story.
I need to win; you need to lose. We both can win.
