Abstract:

Let’s face it — Performance Management rarely makes anyone’s “favorite things” list. It often feels like a time-consuming process with little return. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if Performance Management could actually improve team alignment, accountability, communication across hybrid and multi-functional teams and strengthen engagement and retention?

The data says it’s time for change:

  • 48% of organizations say their performance processes are weak in improving development and driving business value.
  • 72% of employees believe their performance would improve if their managers provided more corrective feedback.
  • 92% agree that well-delivered redirecting feedback improves performance.
  • 69% say they’d work harder if their efforts were better recognized.

In this dynamic session, you’ll explore a modern approach to leadership and performance — one that moves from annual reviews to ongoing, meaningful conversations. You’ll learn how to use feedback to fuel development, deepen trust, and unlock engagement across your teams.

Key Takeaways:

  • Shift from evaluation to engagement: Learn how to create continuous, strengths-based performance conversations that drive growth.
  • Use The Performance Management Quad™ and 5 Zones of Engagement to structure feedback that inspires accountability and results through a repeatable mode
  • Increase your emotional intelligence (EQ): Understand how your leadership, communication, and conflict styles directly impact performance and morale.

Leave with a clear framework, practical tools, and renewed confidence to turn feedback into a powerful lever for performance, productivity, and leadership development — one conversation at a time.
