Not only are businesses evaluating their less senior employees to see how they are performing, but they are also now carrying out evaluations on their more senior and managerial staff as well. It is at these times that they will carry out leadership performance evaluations in order to see not just how they are doing but how their department are doing. This will then help the directors of the company to see if they need to make any improvements in their management skills to improve the department or the workforce's performance as a whole.
As with any performance evaluation it is important that the person carrying it out is able to use words and language which will prompt those involved in the evaluation to discuss matters with them. However at no stage should the evaluation offend or be looked upon by the person being evaluated as an inappropriate personal judgement against them. Below are some guidelines which may be useful if you at some stage need to carry out a leadership performance evaluation.
-
It is best that you use language which is objective when trying to describe a person's performance. Although there may be negative issues which you need to highlight with regard to your employee it is best to clear these out of the way first and move on to the more positive aspects.
-
Through out the evaluation it is best if you avoid trying to give opinionated, judgemental or vague comments to the person in question. This will generally put the person immediately on the defensive and will feel that you are actually mis-using the authority you have been given.
-
Rather than providing them with a rating or score for every goal they have achieved or in relation to how well they have performed. You should also ensure that you provide comments as to why this rating has been given to them. This will then provide them with some reasons as to why you have come to the conclusion that you have.
Certainly a person who has not adequately prepared when giving a leadership performance evaluation will soon be seen by those that are having it as uncaring. So by taking time to prepare the evaluation properly and making sure enough time has been set aside to carry it out will help to improve the situation greatly. Plus it will also mean and show to those who work for you, how much you care and how important to the business they are.
