Are You a Coach or a Referee?

The Magic of Effective Performance Feedback

Big reason managers have problems providing effective feedback is that they are never taught how to do it.  This workshop is designed for anyone who is in a supervisory position.  The topics covered are intended to share ideas on how to increase productivity by helping managers succeed as managers of other employees.  What can you expect from employees?  What do employees expect of supervisors?  Is delegation and empowerment a problem in your company?  For you?  How do you give feedback without a confrontation?  How do you ensure accountability and responsibility?  Learn a process for giving feedback as a coach rather than being a referee!

Key Learning Points:

  • Why it is important to provide feedback to employees on a timely basis.
  • Understanding the areas that a supervisor can control in the workplace.
  • How to set expectations for employees to succeed.
  • Learn a proven formal feedback process (with handouts) to be a more effective supervisor.
  • Enhance your informal feedback process with steps for five specific interactions with employees.

This workshop is aimed at managers and supervisors of all levels of an organization.  The participant will leave with a process that can be implemented immediately and set the stage for dialogue with employees rather than confrontation.  This process was developed over fifteen years and used successfully by the author and his direct reports as well as hundreds of managers who have learned the feedback process through the workshops.

Class size limited to 25 participants.
