Those that are giving them, and those that are receiving them!
It’s that time of year again!
I was recently working with a senior management team.
One of the managers, told me that when he is due to have yearly performance reviews with his team.
They usually descend into a blame game or worse, a ‘tick the box’ exercise, with no meaningful outputs.
If we only meet our people once or twice a year, we are forced to drop our feedback on them all at once, like a bomb!
To deal with people effectively, we must study their wants, their needs, and what will engage them on an individual basis.
We can’t do this by meeting them every 6 or 12 months!
In my experience, having regular informal structured one to ones is much more effective for driving high performance, increasing staff retention, and raising engagement.
This process is done monthly and covers four key questions:
- What specifically has gone well since we last met?
- What’s not been going well since we last met?
- What do you see as your key priorities over the next month?
- What obstacles do you see in meeting goals and how can I help you?
Action point: schedule in monthly one to one’s for your key people in 2022.
