Setting Performance Expectations
Learners are introduced to the performance cycle and connect the need to set effective expectations with achieving the organization's goals and strategies. Leaders share challenges that they have faced in setting expectations discussions. A video demonstrates what can go wrong when discussing expectations. Leaders learn the purpose of setting expectations discussions: achieving understanding, alignment and agreement. Learners discuss the importance of clear expectations and review the criteria for SMART objectives. Participants review the use of Interaction Process skills to conduct setting expectations discussions. Learners use a Discussion Planner to analyze a model of a leader setting expectations for an objective that is difficult to meet. Participants analyze a model of a leader setting a behavioral expectation to support that objective. In an optional exercise, leaders prepare and practice leading a setting expectations discussion using the situations they identified in pre-work. Learners review tips for tracking performance. They discuss the importance of STAR and STAR/AR in providing feedback and the opportunities to find STARs. Referring to the challenges of setting expectations discussions they identified earlier, group members develop solutions to address those challenges back in the workplace.
