Managing Performance I - Clear Work Direction

One of the key factors that impact employee engagement is clear work direction and performance expectations. Individual contributors need a specific understanding of what is expected by the leader, not only in how they perform certain tasks but also how they are to behave and act within their role on the team. Often, leaders fail to communicate clearly and specifically what they want, resulting in poor performance, increased frustration, and lower morale. This session provides activities and tools for clearly communicating what is expected on the job, as well as ways to provide ongoing feedback and monitoring of performance.

Managing Performance II - Employee Development Model

Managing Change

Front line leaders are often in the position of having to communicate changes that occur from upper management. Sometimes those changes are unwelcome by individual contributors. It is important for new leaders to understand the emotional reaction employees have to change and how to best manage those reactions while supporting the direction of the organization. This session provides an overview on the impact of change within an organization, and tools for best planning for and conducting a change conversation with the team.
