Organisations employ a wide range of appraisal systems. Some are very manager-led where the appraiser writes the documentation and shares it with the appraisee. In others, the appraiser's role is to help the appraisee evaluate their contribution to organisational performance. Whatever your appraisal experience, there will be one constant - the effectiveness of the appraisal discussion determines the effectiveness of the whole appraisal system. This book shows you how to make appraisals a productive and motivating experience for all levels of performer - and help your own credibility in the process. Practical advice is given on: assessing performance fairly and accurately; using feedback, including constructive criticism and targeted praise, to improve performance; handling 'difficult' appraisees; encouraging and supporting reluctant appraisees; setting, and gaining commitment to, worthwhile objectives; avoiding common appraiser problems from inadvertent bias to 'appraisal speak'; and identifying ways to develop appraisees so they add value to the organisation.
This title shows how assertiveness should help employees resist manipulation and increase tolerance and powers of persuasion. Simple techniques and helpful advice should ensure that the reader comes across as open, honest and direct. The book covers: understanding why people behave as they do and, when that behaviour is counter-productive, knowing what to do about it; understanding other people better; keeping emotions under control; preventing others bullying, flattering or manipulating one against their will; acquiring easy-to-learn techniques that can be used immediately; and developing a personal assertiveness strategy. Progressive training programmes not only equip managers with basic skills and competencies, but deploy innovative, wide-ranging learning strategies to ensure continuous development. Specifically designed as flexible support material, "Training Extras" provides a simple framework to structure learning.
