Creating High Performing Teams Through Performance Management

Your journey towards mastering leadership continues with getting to the nitty-gritty of how well you and your team are performing and whether each team member is up to scratch in delivering on their assigned tasks. 

You want to know if there are any misunderstandings, incidents involving miscommunication or problems with specific team members that could create project inefficiencies. You also want to know whether anyone is pulling more than their fair share of the weight.

Essentially, you are acutely aware that any chain is only as strong as its weakest link, therefore you want to see if there are any weak links in the performance chain and make sure that other team members or the project itself do not take unnecessary strain as a result. You are also acutely aware that at the end of the day, you are responsible to ensure that all key performance areas are sufficiently addressed.

How do you establish whether you and your team are performing to the required standards? You will find that the material covered in this course might be just what you were looking for since, from the outset you will learn how to effectively formulate a development plan and set realistic performance goals and measures that will help to keep everything and everyone on track. 

You will also learn to master the art of monitoring and evaluating performance against assigned objectives and do this in such a way that your team stays the course.
