This course equips managers with the practical skills to align individual performance with organisational objectives, ensuring every team member contributes meaningfully to strategic success. Delegates will learn how to set clear, measurable targets using the S.M.A.R.T. framework, break down long-term goals into actionable steps, and foster genuine employee engagement through evidence-based psychological techniques. They will also gain confidence in monitoring progress proactively, addressing shortfalls collaboratively, and delivering constructive feedback using the S.B.I. model — even in emotionally charged conversations. This training empowers leaders to build high-performing, accountable teams where performance is not just managed, but continuously improved.
