Leadership competencies: performance management

End of the year: 
Time for performance review and objective setting

By Giorgia Madonno Marco Polo Consulting

      We are almost there. The end of the year is coming.  Time for budget, performance review and objectives setting for the new year coming. 
Time to refresh some tips for evaluators, because we all know, performance management is important.

Do
·    Make it clear at the beginning of the year how you’ll evaluate your employees with individual performance planning sessions
·    Give your employees a copy of their appraisal before the meeting so they may have their initial emotional response in private
·    Deliver a positive message to your good performers by mainly concentrating on their strengths and achievements during the conversation

Don’t
·       Offer general feedback; be specific on behaviors you want your employee to stop, start, and continue
·    Talk about compensation during the review; 
·    Sugarcoat the review for your poor performers; use the face-to-face as an opportunity to demand improvement
