Your Company’s Persona: Army
Your process needs improvements.
Much like the army your performance management system is technically sound, and is supposed to help you make clear decisions with a high success rate. Sadly this system may leave your team wanting a lot more despite achieving some critical goals. Army styled personas tend to be:
- Transactional
- Transformational
- Autocratic
People would like to feel a sense of authenticity, flexibility, and more nuanced feedback more often. Simple ways of improving this within the company could be to
- Make goals more transparent for all, and improve the frequency at which they’re
revisited or revised. - Have a specific tool that helps with goal management and move away from sheets or PPTs.
- Not just discussing tasks and KPIs in 1:1s, but also discussing motivation, feedback,
employee engagement, emotions and energy!
