Performance Conversations: How to Use Questions to Coach Employees, Improve Productivity, and Boost Confidence (Without Appraisals!): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Performance Conversations: How to Use Questions to Coach Employees, Improve Productivity, and Boost Confidence (Without Appraisals!)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

There are three universal truths about traditional performance management. They are widely used, universally despised, and are known to be ineffective. These reasons are cited in the recent spate of announcements from dozens of major corporations who have abandoned their appraisal systems. As a result, many organizations are grappling with what to do instead. They have adopted many interesting and innovative practices, but most are a random collection of activities that are not bound together by a sound theoretical framework.This new approach is built upon a sound theoretical foundation, uses proven management techniques, and offers a novel framework and tool for managers for regulating and enhancing the performance of their staff.Dozens of ready-to-use templates and accompanying tools help make good management practice more accessible, practical, and effective. Just as important, the new approach is both millennial- and remote worker-friendly as it incorporates features that speak to how they work.

Foreword

All organizations care about performance. Whether youre for-profit or nonprofit, regardless of whats happening with the economy or the job market, all organizations care about performance because its what helps organizations achieve their strategic goals. Frankly, employees care about performance, too, because they know their performance helps them to achieve their career goals. Great performance helps employees get the promotion theyve been wanting, or the pay increase they feel they deserve.

Human Resources departments have traditionally used performance management systems to align organizational and employee needs. Contrary to some beliefs, HR did not dream up performance management systems as some form of punishment. But that being said, something different is needed for the modern workplace. Over the past decade weve seen a huge increase in technology, which has created changes in the ways we work. As a result, employees are more mobile and connected than ever before. Thats a good thing, and its also the reason organizations need to reexamine their performance management p ractices.

Everyone Is Responsible for Performance Improvement

Ive had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Christopher D. Lee for many years. We first worked together as volunteer leaders for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). So, I know from personal experience that he has firsthand expertise working in the trenches. This is important because Chris truly knows that successful performance management involves everyone in the orga nization.

This book makes it very clear that improvement involves conversations and those conversations need to happen at every level of the organization. Performance Conversations: How to Use Questions to Coach Employees, Improve Productivity, and Boost Confidence (Without Appraisals!) is the guide to making those conversations happen. Make no mistake, conversations are an art. Sometimes we think conversations (specifically performance conversations) are easy and anyone can do them with little or no training. Honestly, thats not always true, which is why this book is necessar y reading.

Performance Improvement Is Focused on Answers

I was particularly drawn to a Zen adage in the book: He, who forms the question, determines the answer. It reminded me that if I want to receive good information, I need to know how to ask a really good question because unfortunately, mediocre questions yield mediocre answers. If we really think about it, performance improvement is about unlocking the secrets (the answers) to high performance. In this book, Chris shares with us how to formulate the really good questions necessary to unlocking those performance answers. Im not going to give it away here, but Chapter 5 and the Magnificent Seven Questions should be required reading for every business pro fessional.

That shouldnt be too difficult because while the book does dive deep into the questions and conversations that should happen between managers and employees, it also maintains an incredible flexibility. If your organization uses a very traditional performance management process, youll find questions that can be incorporated into that style. They also work for organizations that have adopted a newer performance management model, like the ones with quarterly feedback sessions. Finally, I can see this book being used outside of the performance review process in coaching and mentoring relationships, which are equally focused on the importance of good questions and increasing prod uctivity.

Organizations and Individuals Care about Performance

Performance conversations matter because organizations and their employees care about performance. However, only good performance conversations produce high performance. These conversations are exactly what employees, managers, and Human Resources departments need, and this book will provide all th e answers.
