Effective performance management is one of the most critical, yet most challenging, responsibilities of leaders. Traditional, annual performance reviews often fail to drive engagement, development, or accountability. This interactive workshop is designed to help leaders move beyond outdated practices and adopt a more practical, consistent, and forward-looking approach to managing performance. Participants will explore the purpose and value of performance management, identify common pitfalls of annual reviews, understand the role of unconscious bias, and build practical skills for conducting meaningful performance conversations. The workshop introduces a shift toward more frequent feedback, clear goal setting, and intentional follow-up to support both individual and organizational success.
