Description of my meeting, Questions and Active Listening Techniques I used to elicit Feedback
I organised a meeting with two of my employees from 4:30 pm to 6:00 PM at my workplace. Both of the employees are people who are familiar with me as I had worked with them for about one year. For one and a half hours, we had a long conversation filled with several questions and answers. The questions involved were mainly regarding my competency and skills. I asked my employees to tell me what they feel about my leadership style. I was management interested in exploring my strengths and weaknesses in order to identify opportunities for change and become a better leader. One of the employees said that I always exhibit an understanding heart since I constantly ask my employees what they feel and how they would want things done. Another response from the other employee was that I am assertive and consistent in applying my principles.
- Building trust and establishing rapport.
- Demonstrating concern.
- Paraphrasing to show understanding.
- Nonverbal cueswhich show understanding such as nodding, eye contact and leaning forward.
- Brief verbal affirmations like “I see,” “I know,” “Sure,” “Thank you,” or “I understand.”
- Asking open-ended questions.
- Asking specific questions to seek clarification.
- Waiting to disclose your opinion.
- Disclosing similar experiences to show understanding.
Feedback analysis can best be done using note book. The analysis can be done by taking notes on the various points made regarding my competencies. I will first compare the various responses of my colleagues and peers. I will then call those who provided constructive feedback in the past. If I see patterns or feel I might recognise some of the behaviours they are describing, I will write them down. I will note down all the main points that my reviewers say and should work on. I will then go back to my office to process the information. In this case, I will take a moment to process the feedback especially if it is negative. I will follow all the constructive feedback that will help me to improve my performance while ignoring those I feel will not help me.

The Process I undertook to identify, evaluate and select the Development Opportunities in my Plan
For the identification of opportunities, in addition to specific knowledge about a potential technology or market, people need a particular cognitive capacity that enables them to make novel connections and foresee potential opportunities (Muñoz C, C. A., Mosey, S., & Binks, 2011, p. 278)
- The first step is to take a closer look at the performance of employees in order to identify skill gaps.This involves gathering data in order to determine competency gaps and find root causes that need addressing. As a side note, this process is also critical in the identification of training needs of employees.
- Looking at the wrong data or administering the wrong approach can have severe consequences when it comes to your company’s training, development,and even operational processes and interventions. And for that reason, we’d like to focus on data gathering methodologies when it comes to identifying gaps in essential skills for the workplace.
- There are numerous methodologies that you can employ in data-gathering.The best approach, however, is to utilise at least three. Not only will it give you different perspectives on the issue, but will also provide you more insight on what the real issues and root causes are.
- More importantly, multiple data sources can be used to cross-validate data, confirm analysis results, and ultimately, properly ratify and identify skill gaps.
- For training professionals, determining competency gaps is one of the most effective methods of determining training needs.Not only that, it doesn’t only determine what skills need to be trained or developed in the short-term, but it also affects the T & D strategy in the long run.
- The first step is to learn the human capital landscape
- The next step is to create a vision
- Selection of areas of focus
- Discover practices
- Establishment of development goals
- Determine priorities
- Selection and implementation of the development opportunities based on priority and importance
- Develop an evaluation form.
- Identify performance measures.
- Set guidelines for feedback.
- Create disciplinary and termination procedures.
- Set an evaluation schedule.
- The ability to manage a diverse environment
With four generations of employees in the workplace, an ability to understand and manage diversity is increasingly important
- Knowledge of other cultures
CEOs name cultural competence as one of the most critical leadership skills, but managers rank working with people from different cultures as their weakest skill.
- A global mindset
An ability to work with diverse cultures also helps companies compete as they conduct business in other countries. In today’s business climate, it’s increasingly crucial to have an understanding of the political and societal impacts on business across multiple countries.
- Effective conflict resolution
Companies are placing an increasing emphasis on team members who can work well with others, address issues as they arise, and mitigate major conflicts (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart & Wright, 2006).
Another skill needed to be successful is flexibility and openness to learning something new
Examples of Networking I have undertaken to enhance the knowledge, Skills and Work Relationships
- I have developed a good relationship with my colleagues
- I have a strong bond with my work team
- I have established a relationship with colleagues during meetings at the workplace
- I have also been on good terms with my supervisors and employees who give me constructive feedback regarding my leadership skills
How the Plans align to Relevant Organisational Policies and Procedures and Organisational Goals
- The plans will accelerate performance improvements by tying reviews directly to goal performance
If you want to improve worker performance, you must provide employees with clear and consistent feedback. Most managers rely heavily on memory to evaluate employees. This leads to a disproportionate consideration of recent actions and performance. An automated goal management solution that pulls performance data on each goal directly into the employee appraisal allows for more accurate and fair employee evaluations.
- The plans improve the quality of employee feedback with real-time coaching.
Many automated solutions include integrated coaching tools that offer professional advice on promoting individual employee achievement. Managers receive specific suggestions for coaching employees on office communications, interpersonal skills, and other competencies. These tools not only make it easier for managers to deliver actionable feedback, but also improve its quality and relevance.
- The plans can improve my company’s bottom line.
Automating your performance management process can provide huge returns for your company, generating thousands of dollars annually through increased employee productivity, improved retention, and compensation optimisation. The following tool will help you estimate the typical bottom-line savings your organisation can expect to realise each year.
