Improving organizational performance naturally begins with individual performance 
improvement. And while most employees truly want to do the things that will help the company to achieve its overall goals, organizations rarely give employees the help and
support they need to:
- Identify (specifically) where their performance is lacking, and
- Develop the skills and behaviors needed to excel in their role
In short, some of our feedback and coaching is as generic and meaningless as “work better!”
To jumpstart individual performance improvement for your team:
- Use competency-based skills assessments to identify specific strengths and improvement opportunities
- Share your journey of continuous learning and improvement with your team, and pass along some lessons from your own struggles
- Provide some simple, practical ideas to help your team members develop the necessary skills via informal and formal learning opportunities
Begin and continue a regular, informal dialogue about victories and improvement opportunities
Performance won’t improve until individuals know exactly what to change and how to change it. Leaders are an essential part of planning and supporting that improvement effort, and the organizational performance will be the better for it!
