Line Of Sight With Performance Scorecard: Facilitator Kit

Studies show that organizations that use performance measures effectively achieve superior business results. With the "right" measures, you can more easily see and treat performance problems and reinforce business outcomes for customers, employees, and other stakeholders.

Following a six-phase Performance Scorecard model, your managers, supervisors, and leaders can develop and deploy critical performance measures, establishing a clear "line of sight" between the strategic goals of their senior managers and the tactical goals of their workgroups. Integrating on-the-job application with training, our hands-on Line Of Sight (LOS) program enables them to draft a functional Performance Scorecard for their workgroup that includes a Scorecard Summary, a Scorecard Glossary, and a Scorecard Report. They then develop an action plan for finalizing and implementing their scorecard within their organization.

Competent Supervisors Questionnaire Facilitators Guide

Today’s supervisors face far greater challenges than any of their predecessors. The good news is that they need master only five basic skills to excel in their roles and progress to higher levels of responsibility.

Here’s a tool you can use to help supervisors identify their strengths in these key areas and the skills they need to improve upon:

  • Set direction
  • Plan and organize
  • Coach/develop people
  • Measure and manage performance
  • Maintain effective relationships

The self-scoring questionnaire can be completed in just a few minutes. Participants review 25 typical workplace scenarios and choose the actions they would take in these situations. The booklet includes rich interpretation and planning notes to help participants transform what they’ve learned into a plan for developing their own effective supervisory style.

Sample scenarios:

  • You have just been appointed to a supervisory role for a team of people that you have not met before. They have a reputation for being difficult to manage.
  • Two members of your team have not been collaborating well in recent months and even have had a few public arguments.
  • Some 360-degree feedback from team members you have recently received suggests that you could do a little more to listen attentively.
  • An enterprise-wide directive requires every team to cut costs by 10 percent over the next six months.

And every time a business loses an employee, the high cost fo attracting, hiring and training a replacement cuts into the profit margin.

Claire Raines is the nation's leading expert on Generation X. In this video, she will give you new information about generation X workers... who they are, what makes them different and how to develop successful ways of working with them.

When the Coach is You! (Healthcare Version) DVD

These days, coaching isn't only the responsibility of the manager. Any team member may be called upon to coach a co-worker. This video walks viewers through the practical steps to increasing success for coaches and learners in any healthcare organization. You'll visit an accounting office, a hospital, and a medical service center as workers resist and stumble through the coaching process, finally learning to create positive outcomes. This important training tool explores the perspective of both coach and learner. You will watch purchasing administrator Wes try to move Peggy from one-on-one vendor ordering to an online purchasing system. His incomplete coaching results in an ordering snafu on Peggy's part. Ultimately they learn to work together to make the coaching process successful.

At the hospital, nursing supervisor Moira enlists Louise to help with a new coworker's orientation into their unit. Louise isn't too keen on losing her own time with patients, but in the end sees that teaching Aaron what she has learned over the years not only improves her coworker's skills and efficiency, but improves the entire unit's patient care and cost-saving abilities.

At the medical technology service center, veteran service representative Todd is none too pleased to have a freshman rep assigned to coach him on calls. His defensiveness and stubbornness make it difficult for him to take Vicki's suggestions, but Vicki's coaching allows him to see how his technical proficiency could be balanced with a greater sensitivity toward client needs.

You will watch the evolution of these encounters, skipping from one scenario to the next as each pair illustrates the skills necessary for successful coaching

Included: A 18 minute DVD or VHS.
