Part 3: The Performance Management Process: Linking Performance to Results
Companies and agencies with a formal employee goal-setting process followed and enforced by performance reviews against those goals, will outperform those that don't have such a system in place. Plus, linking individual goals to the overall goals of the organization ensures that your employees are invested in the success of the business. Common goals and priorities create a unified effort when it comes to managing performance. Maximum business success requires everyone moving in the same direction. An effective Performance Management Process can help you and your business accomplish its goals.

Part 4: Fearless Feedback: Getting Comfortable with Providing Feedback
Positive feedback is an often underutilized employee motivation tool. Honest feedback regarding performance issues requires having uncomfortable and difficult conversations, but these are essential to helping your employees excel and reach their full potential.
Addressing employee behavior and performance issues can be an intimidating process. Often, the anxiety around finding the right words to communicate your message, or handling the emotional reactions from the employee is enough to make these the "conversations to avoid." The reality, of course, is that avoidance only allows the situation to deteriorate. The ability to effectively prepare for and conduct a productive counseling session is an essential skill for any leader in today's workplace.
In this webinar, you are provided with useful strategies and tools that you can immediately execute to help increase your comfort and confidence when conducting a difficult conversation.
