Briefings Audio Conference
Performance Talk: How Bosses Can Get Extraordinary Results from Their People

Why do some average employees suddenly excel when they get a new boss? And why do some stars see results fall off when they start reporting to someone else? Because bosses REALLY matter. And what matters most in the boss/employee relationship is how they communicate … the words they use and the way they exchange ideas. The dialogue IS the relationship
In this conference, our speaker will give supervisors a powerful question-based technique that will give them the confidence they need to engage employees in productive performance dialogue.
Key topics covered include:
- The #1 trait that truly effective leaders use to talk to employees successfully
- The difference between "powerful" vs."soft" questions
- Why you must avoid using "Queggestions" – suggestions disguised as questions like "Have you tried…" and "Why don’t you…"
- The right way to ask performance questions, clarity questions, and collaboration questions
- The power of "What" and "How" questions
- The dangers of "Why" and "Who" questions
- When during the conversation to use prompting and probing – and when they turn into "grilling"
- How to use accountability questions and create "next actions" around performance issues
- How to set the stage for productive performance-improvement conversations
- How to smoothly shift your focus from asking questions to listening actively
- How to respond when an employee’s answer “throws you”
|
Learning Objectives:
- Confront performance problems head on
- Identify the root cause of obstacles that block top performance
- Coach employees effectively when they need direction
- Help employees prioritize and stay focused
- Inspire employees to be accountable for solving their own problems and achieving their goals.
