Motivating your Staff with Powerful Performance Objectives ebook
Research consistently demonstrates that staff members who know what is expected of them are both more productive and have higher levels of job satisfaction than those who don’t. Clarity – about what our specific contribution to the organisation needs to be and why our contribution is important – is highly motivational and leads to improved performance.
In this book, Joan Henshaw,author and presenter of the 10 Minute Management Toolkit series, has, will show you how to achieve that clarity using powerful performance objectives. Objectives that define effective performance for both the ‘what’ of the job - the quality, quantity and time elements - and the ‘how’ of the job – the behaviours
Using step by step, proven, practical models plus exercises and examples I’ll guide you through the process of;
a) Identifying what you want from the people you manage and where clarity, through performance objectives, will lead to improved performance
b) How to write powerful performance objectives and
c) How to gain your staff’s involvement and commitment to achieving the objectives
Each chapter is similar to a training session and takes around 10 minutes to complete, including the exercises. You may want to take some time between sessions to apply what you’ve learnt or you may prefer to work through the book in one go. It’s entirely up to you
And what about you as the manager?
A couple of simple principles;
• Your staff can’t give you what they don’t know you want. For example, if you need your staff to be ‘better team players’ you need to be able to describe what ‘team playing’ looks like.
If you want them to be ‘open to change’ you need to explain what that looks like
• If you achieve clarity with your staff about what you want from them, you’ll get more from your staff of what you need from them
