Seven Ways to Minimize the Need for Performance Improvement Sessions

July 10, 2007

  1. "Hire people who have the talent, desire, and ability to do the job well.
  2. Clearly communicate job responsibilities and performance expectations.
  3. Make training and continual learning a top priority.
  4. Regularly provide specific performance feedback.  Make sure people know how they are doing.
  5. Consistently recognize and reward positive performance.
  6. Hold people accountable for negative behavior and performance.
  7. Set the example.  Be a positive role model for the team (Cottrell & Layton, 2002, p.24)."
