Shift from Fault-Hunting to Future Performance, Replace Memory with Evidence, and Run Fair Reviews That Drive Real Growth.

The Good Review Rule: A review has two jobs: Look Back and Look Forward. Feedback that isn't accepted isn't acted on. When a review is built on verifiable evidence, a consistent structure, and genuine two-way dialogue, it stops feeling like a verdict and starts driving performance.

Key Takeaway

The 6-Workshop Journey

Workshop 1.1: The Purpose of Performance Management (45 min)

• Demystify the Purpose: Shift from "policing" to empowerment by balancing Look Back (evaluation) with Look Forward (development).
  
  
• The Good Review Test: Audit review moments against three non-negotiable standards: Accurate, Useful, and Fair.
  
  
• Line of Sight: Use the Business, Team, You chain to give every employee’s goal a clear reason that connects directly to who their work helps.
  
  

Workshop 1.2: Anatomy of a KPI (SMART Goals) (45 min)

• Checkable Goals: Transform vague directions like "do a good job" or "be organised" into clear SMART goals that both parties can objectively verify.
  
  
• Leading & Lagging Indicators: Pair end-of-period result metrics with early-warning leading indicators to catch drift while there is still time to act.
  
  
• The Side-Effect Question: Ask "What could this make someone neglect, or game?" to protect quality, reporting, and safety standards.
  
  

Workshop 1.3: Evidence Gathering vs. Memory (40 min)

• The Memory Trap: Understand why relying on memory defaults to dramatic moments, recent events (Recency Bias), and subjective impressions.
  
  
• The Performance Log: Establish a simple 4-column record (Date, What Happened, Which Goal, Effect) to capture performance across the full period.
  
  
• The Three Log Rules: Apply Facts You Could Check, Good and Not-So-Good, and Little and Often in just 5 minutes a week.
  
  

Workshop 1.4: The Review Structure (45 min)

• The 4-Part Review Agenda: Keep the meeting on track using a proven, fair structure: Warm-up (5 min), Review Results (15 min), Discuss Behaviours (10 min), and Set Future Goals (15 min).
  
  
• One-Page Review Plan: Prepare evidence, draft open opening questions, and allocate strict timings so the past doesn't swallow the future.
  
  
• No-Surprise Preparation: Send agendas and goals in advance so team members have a voice and come prepared with their own examples.
  
  

Workshop 1.5: Bias Awareness 101 (40 min)

• Spot the Core Three: Identify and neutralise Recency Bias, the Halo Effect (good at one thing = good at everything), and the Horns Effect (one flaw = bad across the board).
  
  
• The Three Bias Questions: Audit draft comments and ratings before the meeting: Whole Period? Each Area? Same for Everyone?
  
  
• Evidence-Based Rewriting: Rewrite biased impressions into objective, area-by-area statements supported by facts.
  
  

Workshop 1.6: Listening to the Self-Review (40 min)
