Course overview
What Is Performance Management?
Performance management is the ongoing work of making expectations clear, following progress, helping people improve and judging results on evidence. The course builds the skills behind each stage: linking individual objectives to organisational priorities, choosing indicators, keeping regular check-ins, coaching, dealing with performance gaps and holding reviews that are objective and lead to growth.
Through case studies, interactive sessions and practical exercises, participants draft targets and indicators for their own teams and practise the review and feedback conversations that leaders in Eritrea need to handle well.
Executives, managers, supervisors, team leaders, HR professionals and training and development specialists in Eritrea work through the full performance cycle together, from agreeing targets to reviewing results. They practise the conversations and simple tracking methods that build accountability, trust and transparency between managers and the people they lead.
Why it matters
Why Performance Management Matters in Eritrea
Organisations in Eritrea, like organisations everywhere, rely on people knowing what is expected of them and getting honest feedback on how they are doing. A clear, fair performance process gives managers and staff that shared footing.
Unclear goals waste effort
When targets are unclear, effort drifts towards tasks that do little for the organisation.
Fairness drives commitment
People commit more when they trust that reviews are based on evidence.
Problems grow if ignored
A gap that nobody addresses soon drags down the morale of everyone around it.
Keeping the best people
Organisations in Eritrea keep good people by noticing and rewarding what they achieve.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Rather than a once-a-year exercise, performance becomes a continuous loop of six steps that managers work through with every person they lead, starting with agreed goals and ending with recognition.
Performance management in action
- 1. PlanWhat does good look like?
- 2. MeasureHow will we know?
- 3. MonitorAre we on track?
- 4. CoachWhat support is needed?
- 5. AppraiseHow did it really go?
- 6. RecogniseWhat deserves reward?
