Communispond offers a series of interrelated programs designed to develop a leader’s understanding of the impact that different management styles have on team performance and strengthen abilities to diagnose causes of non-performance, take action to improve results, conduct successful individual and team coaching and development, and more effectively communicate in workplace conversations and formal performance assessment reviews.

(1 day) Influencing the discretionary effort and loyalty of employees is highly dependent on the leadership and performance management skills of supervisors and managers. This requires a proactive strategy for exercising performance management practices. Today, many employees suffer from unclear expectations, vague priorities, inconsistent feedback and performance monitoring, unclear and unspecific direction, and untimely and ineffective correction for performance errors. With the popular, but misguided approach, of avoiding micromanagement allegations and being an ‘empowering’ manager, employees often receive a ‘hands-off’ approach. This interactive program provides critical skills for implementing routine tactics for managing performance. Participants learn to put structure into their management practices and put 7 pragmatic principles for effective performance management and execution into play in their daily routine.
