36
Performance Review (4) Style Interested Objective Supportive Empathetic Perceptive Aware Self-aware Patient l Sense of humour and perspective
37
Performance Review (4) Approaches 1 - Tell and sell Consistent with an authoritarian view of management. Manager explains and defends a previously thought out position Person is passive recipient rather than active participant(Review is done-to person rather than done-with.) Induces defensiveness and dependence in the reviewee and reluctance to accept follow- up actions No dialogue or rapport. Manager learns nothing and does not enhance relationship
38
Performance Review (4) Approaches 2 - Tell and listen Manager explains a previously thought out position, but invites comment Better than “tell and sell” but is still doing-to people rather than doing-with Defensiveness, dependence, lack of commitment to actions still likely Judgmental element means no real rapport established
39
Performance Review (4) Approaches 3 - Coaching Person is encouraged to identify and discuss problem areas and to offer potential solutions Person is active participant Agreed actions emerge through discussion Forward looking, action oriented and developmental Builds rapport and shared understanding of priorities and problems Generates commitment to actions and motivation to achieve them
40
Performance Review (4) Approaches 4 - Passive Manager’s aim is to be popular, and/or avoid any kind of conflict or disagreement Manager lets reviewee direct and control the discussion Can turn into a counselling session or a moaning session Unrealistic promises may be made.
41
Exercise Examine the Appraisal process. Define the key things to consider at the following stages: the planning required before the discussion the discussion itself after the discussion
42
Before the Appraisal discussion… Explain the process ‘Fit’ to performance management Self-appraisal Think about examples… Think about potential outcomes Prepare question plan Room / Timing / Interruptions Conflict with other work
43
During the Appraisal discussion… Establish a rapport Establish a purpose Revisit historical targets/goals Analyse current performance Explore options Summarise regularly Agree implementation plan
44
After the Appraisal discussion… Ownership of training and development Analyse trends Company wide training plan Follow up marginal performers Link into performance management process
45
Performance Review (4) Questions - Do Ask clear, concise and specific questions Always acknowledge answers positively Probe, when you need to, for extra information Give answers real consideration before replying; a pause will often show that you have done so. Use questions to raise self-awareness, for example; “How did you feel when you did that”.” If people are wandering off-track ask ‘In what way does that relate to the problem’ Ask: What action have you taken so far. What were the effects of this action. Try and understand the person’s reasons Stay silent after asking a question
46
Performance Review (4) Questions - Don’t Ask long-winded questions or use complex or inappropriate language or jargon Ask leading or loaded questions; show that you think you already know. Ask trick questions – undermines trust, causes resentment and de-motivation Cut people off mid-sentence with some advice or another question Use questions as if in a courtroom, to steer them to your point of view. Be side-tracked by interesting answers that are not relevant to the issue you are dealing with. Point out the lack of action, or its inadequacy. Rush people, blether on, or answer your own question
47
Performance Review (4) Listening - Do Maintain eye contact Make encouraging noises and nod when appropriate. Let people express themselves in their own words Make only brief notes Actively concentrate and seek to understand what the person is saying Reflect back your understanding of what the person has said. Ask relevant supplementary questions Acknowledge understanding of what has been said Listen fully and empathetically Give the person time to think and speak. Tolerate reasonable silences.
48
Performance Review (4) Listening - Don’t Look away or look disinterested Argue, interrupt or make negative comments or gestures Finish people’s sentences Make long detailed notes Be thinking about your next question or comment Twist people’s words and feed them back to reinforce your own point of view Make judgmental statements, leap to conclusions or give unnecessary advice Show blame, irritation, get aggressive or defensive about what you hear Ignore comments, ideas and feelings Rush people, or leap in with statements, opinions or additional questions.
49
Performance Review (4) Words, Tone of Voice, Body Language Content (the words) Tone (volume, pitch and intonation) Body language (movements, posture, facial expressions) If the words are saying one thing and the body is saying another, the body is more likely to indicate the true feelings
50
Performance Review (4) Words - Do and Don’t Choose words carefully Be specific Be clear Attack the problem Balance positives and negatives Be tactless, critical or punishing Be vague or general Do not talk around the point Attack the person Talk only about failures and shortcomings
51
Performance Review (4) Tone of voice - Do and Don’t Be upbeat Maintain an even volume and pace Maintain an even tone Adopt a friendly tone Talk in a downbeat monotone Shout or mumble Betray irritation, impatience or upset Adopt an aggressive tone
