Supervisory Skill Development
Developing Performance Standards - Classroom
|
Classroom Format
For: Team leaders and first-line managers in both office and industrial / manufacturing locations.
An important part of the team leader/manager role is to encourage team members/staff to develop effective performance standards and to commit to those standards on a daily basis.
The basis of any good planning process is a set of definite standards. These are::
| |
Specific |
| |
Measurable |
| |
Attainable |
| |
Results-oriented |
| |
Time-framed |
Once S.M.A.R.T. standards are set, carrying out the plan is just as important as setting standards and
developing a plan. This is where many people fail - they are not really committed to the plan.
An important part of a leader’s role is to encourage team members/staff to develop effective performance standards and to commit to
those standards on a daily basis.
The key to developing an effective team is participation. When people participate in setting standards and developing a plan, they "buy"
into that plan. The standards and plan becomes their own.
