Workshop Outcomes

♦ Capitalize on the six workhorse resources for developing superstars: goals versus standards, duties versus skills, and expectations versus corporate values.

♦ Make “tolerating mediocrity” a thing of the past by clearly understanding why people don’t perform, and what to do about it.

♦ Dovetail the leader’s most powerful skill – informal coaching – to develop talent with the annual appraisal.

♦ Develop four leadership skills that must be used effectively leading up to and during the appraisal event.

♦ Learn three ways the law has changed to put the burden of proof upon the employer for performance management.

♦ Learn to internalize two critical insights of leadership: “Let them solve the problem” and “Transition beyond the buddy syndrome”.
