Description
Why Should You Attend: Many employees dread the annual meeting with their supervisor about their past performance. Sometimes ratings are lightning rods for anger and resentment. Managers are often afraid of giving direct feedback in fear that employees will get angry or disagree with their opinion. The fear and anxiety that comes from performance discussions can be avoided if the right techniques are used. Avoid common pitfalls and the verbal blunders that plague the annual discussion about performance.
Learn proven techniques that keep the focus on positive performance outcomes. Learn to assume the role of a coach that delivers frank, honest, and helpful feedback to employees in any situation. Use a future orientation that enables employees to receive criticism and apply it to their next assignments without taking offense. Empower employees to higher levels of productivity by building upon their gifts and strengths instead of focusing on their blind-spots.
