To reach strategic goals it’s essential not to overlook employee performance. Failure to achieve goals comes through a lack of feedback, coaching and communication of objectives/goals with by in from the employee. In this essay we have an individual who ‘exceled’ in the position of warehouse picker/packer but when moved to the position of a sales representative there was an adverse effect. From here we defined a development plan based off the performance review to improve their result and output. This we’ve executed through the use of Franklin Coveys ‘The four Disciplines of execution’ methodology.
The Four Disciplines of Execution by Franklin Covey’s has been of great assistance in our organisation to create accountability around goals and strategies to drive results;
1. Focus on the Wildly Important Goals( WIGS- A goal that makes all the difference. Failure to achieve this goal renders any other achievements inconsequential.)
a. Sub-wigs must ensure that success of the parent-WIGS
b. Finish Line: From X to Y by When.
2. Act on the lead Measure. Something that leads to the goal(predictive) Something that we can influence (Influence-able)
3. Create a compelling scoreboard. Needs to feel like a game.
a. Simple
b. Highly Visible to the players.
c. Have the Right “LEAD” and “LAG” Measures.
d. Tell US Immediately if We Are Winning or Losing.
4. Create a cadence of accountability. A 20 minute meeting every week for every team that owns a wildly important goal and happens the same time each week. In this meeting you do not discuss the whirlwind even if the building is on fire. And everyone on the team shows up thinking about the same critical question: What are the 1-3 most important things I can do this week to impact the scoreboar...

If there’s an increase of $4000 on the their personal daily sales run rate for three consecutive months, then management is going to purchase them a new company vehicle of their preference (with a budget of course) With the personal development plan for the staff member in questions we haven’t created an individual scorecard for the for the three goals(sub-WIGS) (Time Management, Focus & Housekeeping), however they do ensure the success of their Lag & Lead results on the sales Team scoreboard. The LAG & LEAD measure that they compete with on the scoreboard with the rest of the sales team are

Evaluation and review should be an ongoing process of learning, embedding a process of continual improvement and development. The key to evaluating is knowing what we are measuring. We cannot monitor and evaluate the team’s progress towards agreed objectives without clear advance planning of what we want to do and how it will be achieve. Effective strategic and operational planning, incorporating clear measurable objectives, is therefore an important
These must be recognised and overcome where possible with a more “let’s not look for obstacles not to coach” and a more “let’s find a solution to do it” frame of mind!
Determination, the strive to come out on top. The compulsion to reach your goal. For me, failure is not an option. Being adequate is not one either. You either have your game face on or you do not. There is no in between. My goal at the moment is to become a student at the Early College. From then on, I have multiple goals set up
An efficient performance management process will involve employees in an organisation, ensuring that all employees are fully aware of the organisations goals and objectives and of how the organisation plans to accomplish these goals and objectives. By involving employees in their performance management and in their training and development, employees are allowed to improve on their skill set and begin to feel a sense that thei...
Performance management aims to manage and improve individual performance with a vision to improving performance across the entire business. [Walter. M, 1995] defines performance management as the process of ‘Directing and supporting employees to work as effectively and efficiently as possible in line with the needs of the organisation’. It is very important to direct and support employees to work efficiently, and this can only be successful if a well-structured performance management system is put in place. But, nonetheless some organisations don’t get it
Step 6: Create short-term wins – celebrate the victories. Set short-term goals for the very purpose of celebrating them. Celebrate the little wins, set little obstacles to create momentum, energy and positive thinking. People are more likely to jump on board and push with more effort if they experience victories/ witness victories. They need to get excited. It is important to enjoy the process; celebrating small wins will make the process a reflective experience. This reflection should target you to the next action as you keep pushing change to achieve the vision and look for opportunities to grow.
In accordance to MTP004, the focus of module A is on, enhance internal institutional structure. An activity that would be relevant to this module would be conducting staff performance evaluation based on employee job description and work target. This will identify how employees utilize allocated resources in terms of finances and time in delivering the overall company objectives. This will enable assignment of discrete tasks to specific entities, setting of attainable targets and timelines and allocation of adequate funds (Friedman & Linton, 2008, p.39). Similarly, this will induce employees to develop a culture of self-rule which will ultimately lead to sound internal
Preview: This book provides a lengthy indoctrination of the what and why of performance management. This summary will cover both the pragmatic and practical pieces of the text; while excluding some of the specific instruction for those who oversee the overall orchestration of performance management in the workplace. The purpose of this paper is to allow its readers to grasp some main themes of performance management and develop a vocabulary for discussion and debate of the topic.
“Aguinis in 2009 described that the definition of performance does not include the results of an employee’s behaviour, but only the behaviours themselves. Performance is about behaviour or what employees do, not about what employees produce or the outcomes of their work”. Employee performance is considered as a belief of an individual regarding his contribution towards the organisation and there off his behaviour. McCloy in 1994 identified certain factors which can help improve performance and perform better than others. These factors are declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge and motivation. (Shahzad, 2011)
Performance can be considered improved by improving the skill-set of the employees and improving the mechanisms by which the product or service is delivered. As employees are trained to learn new skills or enhance their current skill-set, they are equipped to improve the service or product they deliver. Focusing on this area for improvement is considered a process focused action.
An organisation’s mission is the back bone of all strategic decisions; the mission will have an influence on all activities performed within the organisation, because if they aren’t achieving their mission an organisation is failing. The long term strategic goals of an organisation should directly aim to achieve their mission and these goals are what performance can be measured off. Without specific goals attempting to measure performance is pointless, and identifying who or what the main focus of these goals is the key to optimisation.
There can be no success without goals or targets. This is because success is relative to a set target and whether we have achieved it, or at least making steady progress towards attaining it. For you to succeed, set a goal, a measurable target that represents what you envision: that is what you want or where you see yourself in future. A goal should be measurable so as to enable you to monitor your progress and help you know whether you are on track or you have gone off.
It requires steady attention to our actions and determination for wanting to achieve something big. In order to achieve your goal in life, you need to deeply desire the goal that you want. Weak desires bring weak results. You need to have the strong desire to achieve the goal. You have to decide what you want. Start to think about what these goals means to you. Take time to think why you are setting the goal you have chosen. Make sure that you really want the goal you are setting to avoid
There are several reasons organizations initiate performance evaluations, however the standard purpose for performance evaluations is to discuss performance expectations; not only from the employers perspective but to engage in a formal collaboration where the employee and the manager are both able to provide feedback in a formal discourse. There are many different processes an organization should follow when developing its performance evaluation tool; in addition essential characteristics that must accompany an effective performance appraisal process. I will discuss in detail the intent of a performance evaluation, the process an organization should follow in using its performance evaluation tool, along with the characteristics of an effective
