Can You Spare a Moment?

Performance Matters:
The
Need for Constructive Criticism
Nobody enjoys being criticized, which is why few managers relish the prospect of criticizing their staff - yet it has to be done. Everyone makes mistakes, but no-one can be allowed to go on making the same mistake—and people shouldn't have to wait until an appraisal to discover they have done something wrong.
The program is set in the offices of a district council, where an oversight in preparing for a meeting leads to the rejection of a sensitive planning application. The planning officer concerned shrinks from confronting an otherwise efficient assistant until a stern memo from the chief executive forces a rethink.
But rather than establishing what had happened and taking action to put it right, the officer makes a series of clumsy attempts to discipline the assistant - including a telling off in front of junior colleagues, failing to agree what had gone wrong and criticizing them personally rather than what they had done. |

Performance Matters:
The Importance of Praise
At the top of the list of why people think of leaving their jobs is the fact that they feel they aren't appreciated enough.
This programme makes the point that giving praise where it's due is a management tool that's powerful, cheap and easy to use. It can bring amazing results in terms of increasing the quality and quantity of the output of the people who work for them, providing it is correctly applied.
A department with a high staff turnover is in danger of losing another member: the individual displayed initiative and commitment in helping a customer, yet their manager could only criticise the unauthorized expense of a taxi fare.
The employee's attitude changes with renewed enthusiasm when the manager shows interest and appreciation in a job well done. Among the rules learnt are that it's important to let people know why they are being praised, make sure that the effect isn't ruined by a sting-in-the-tail remark, and to pass on praise from customers or superiors. |

Straight Talking:
The Art of Assertiveness
Techniques of assertiveness are shown in action in a series of different settings from a management meeting to a one-to-one conversation between colleagues.
Straight talking shows that the basic rule of assertive behaviour is honesty and that it's usually for fear of the response that honesty is avoided. However, this fear is generally over-exaggerated. The programme is highly reassuring on this point for anyone who has doubts about volunteering what they think - even when asked to do so.
It also demonstrates why aggressive behaviour doesn't work in the long run and why it's important to establish a negotiating position and stick to it. |
