Description

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could find a way to transform the traditional performance review into a collaborative coaching conversation between a supervisor and the employee? Imagine what this would look and feel like: the employee leans into the conversation with a learning sensibility that is focused on exploring ways to leverage this interaction into a plan for enhancing future performance. And the supervisor would look forward to the conversation as an opportunity to both give feedback to and receive feedback from his or her employee and to strengthen their working relationship.

Unfortunately, the reality of today is that the annual performance review is often a painful process for both employees and supervisors. Employees often approach the review with anxiety and even dread feeling that an entire year of effort is being reduced to a single number on a five-point scale. Supervisors typically approach the review feeling ill-prepared to give feedback, not sure how to structure the conversation to facilitate understanding and wondering how employees will respond to the feedback. It doesn’t have to be this way. It is possible to make the process collaborative, learning-centered, and one where employees actually lead the process. In this webinar, we’ll examine strategies for transforming the entire fear-inducing performance review process into a productive and fearless performance coaching conversation.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • Why most performance reviews get it wrong and create fear rather than insight and performance improvement.
  • How to transform reviews into fearless performance coaching conversations with five simple employee-centered questions.
  • How to integrate the governing values and enacting behaviors of the collaborative mindset into powerful new relationships between employees and supervisors.
  • Strategies for making the performance coaching conversation about the conversation, rather than the “form.”
