Overview

The role of the supervisor it to enable everyone to succeed

Supervisors succeed when they get everyone in their teams to succeed at doing the right things well. Their responsibility co-exists with each individual contributor’s responsibility to do well. However, the individual contributor cannot succeed without clear expectations, feedback and guidance about what is required from their role.


Are you wasting resources on formal performance planning?

A common complaint in organisations is that the annual performance planning process is a costly waste of time. This is because it is not used effectively throughout the year. The annual plan is the project plan for each person about what they will do to succeed. When supervisors and individual contributors know how to use it well it can help improve productivity and wellbeing within the team.


The Performance Target

The Performance Target combines the strategic and tactical with the rational and non-rational dimensions of what it takes to help people to perform. It brings them together in a easily understood and balanced approach to managing performance.

• The planning module explores the techniques supervisors can use to get value from performance planning, focusing performance on organisational priorities.
  
  
• The feedback module focuses on how supervisors can engage people to improve performance and maintain high performers.
  
  
• The wellbeing module explores strategies for implementing work practices that benefit from the powerful link between wellbeing and productivity.

Integrated Program Elements

The program combines layers to integrate the different avenues of learning available in organisations.

• Seminars bring supervisors together to explore the key evidence and processes they can all use to help people succeed.
  
  
• Coaching sessions provide the confidential place for supervisors to review challenging situations and explore pathways for their team.
  
  
• On-the-job links to actual supervisory work helps supervisors to immediately get benefits for their own team priorities.
  
  
• Progress measures help to build momentum in the organisation to create a performance building culture.
  
  

“The importance of feedback as a tool for enhancing performance in organisations can hardly be overestimated. Research has consistently shown that feedback has strong positive effects on the performance of both individuals and groups.”
