What happens if you don’t manage performance?
• No clear objectives and direction• No feedback to get people back on
track leading to poor productivity• Low levels of training & dev (because it
wasn’t identified in the first place)
• No objective link between effort and reward
• Low morale
What exactly is performance?
Performance takes into account - • The quality of the work produced (attention to
detail)• The approach to work (behaviours)• Work habits (e.g. lateness, gossiping)• Deadlines and targets achieved

Marcus Buckingham
Why do managers avoid managing performance?
• It is difficult giving bad news• The lack of appreciation of the impact of one
poor performer on the organisation• Managers don’t know how to manage
performance• Lack of time
What to do?
• Clarify what you expect of your managers• Measure them on how well they manage their
team and the performance of their team• Educate them on the consequences for the
organisation if poor performance is not addressed (Think lost sales, high waste, customer complaints)
• Equip them with the skills to manage performance effectively
Technical Expert vs. Manager
Manager skills now include – • Setting objectives and directionSetting objectives and direction• Reviewing performanceReviewing performance• Recruiting• Coaching/ trainingCoaching/ training• MotivateMotivate• Industrial relations• Partnering and influencing
No wonder managers struggle!
Finding Skills
Quite simply we avoid doing what we do not know how to do!
Think tax returns, cooking a gourmet meal, fixing that gutter etc
Skills should include feedback,
coaching and how to deal with difficult discussions
Finding Time!
Quite simply we don’t find time for those things that we do not know how to do!
