Performance management is one of the four foundations of the McFreedom System™. Performance reviews are all about improving the performance of the team, by improving the performance of each individual in it. No one should ever feel anxious going into a performance review, because nothing should ever be a surprise. If a manager is managing effectively, ongoing, day to day appreciative and constructive feedback, will have made it clear to the individual exactly where they stand. So a review will be a formal summary of this ongoing informal feedback, either recognising excellence or identifying areas for improvement and agreeing the way forward. Performance reviews are all about enabling progress - inspiring and motivating your team to strive for continuous improvement. So where does the fear come from? Maybe it’s from seeing performance reviews as confrontational - I’m going to tell the individual everything they’ve done wrong, and they are going to be defensive and argue back. Or maybe it’s because we’ve avoided giving ongoing feedback; we haven’t corrected a behaviour that’s now going to come across as a much bigger deal than it needed to be, because our feedback will be a surprise to them. Maybe it’s because we haven’t actually been monitoring or measuring the individual’s performance, and our feedback will be very flaky and subjective, as a result. Or maybe it’s because we’ve had no training in performance management, and know that we’ll be ‘winging’ it. Want to remove the fear? Here’s our top 5 tips for stress-free reviews:
