Quick Question: How do we define performance?
Here is today's quick question for you...How do we define performance?
Ask it when you're...
Setting new goals or OKRs - It can be tempting to dive into detailed specifics of individual OKRs. Try starting with ‘the big question’ of what performance means to the team, and let the answers guide you into the specifics.
Defining your team values and culture - Aligning what performance means in the context of your culture can be a challenging yet rewarding process. It may reveal similarities and differences in the team that you were unaware of.
Reviewing progress - Before jumping into ‘how did we go?’, it is helpful to revisit ‘what did we say was important’ to set the team up for a productive discussion.
