Performance Goals
What you are working to accomplish
Development Goals
Areas you want to develop in order to grow in your job
30.Performance Goals - Example
Collaborate with other circulation supervisors to design an online guide for student assistants.
This is to improve the time it takes to train them and make it more consistent across the libraries.
The guide will include links to key documents and other resources and will be available for fall 2015 incoming student assistants.
31.Development Goal - Example
To increase my effectiveness in running meetings I will prepare an agenda for our departmental meetings and present one topic through December. I will participate in the ‘Making Meetings Work’ training offered by UF TOD by the end of October.
Beginning in January I will lead the meetings with backup from my department head.
In my weekly meetings with my supervisor we will discuss my effectiveness.
32.Tips for writing goals
Don’t wait for your supervisor to suggest writing goals. Write 3 – 4 goals.
Discuss each goal with supervisor
Understand how they relate to the goals of the department/why they matter
33.Ask yourself:
What results will you produce?
What will be different in your department or the libraries?
What will you do and when will you do it?
How will you know you’ve made progress?
34.SMART GOALS
35.SMART GOALS
Performance Goals must be:
S
Specific & Strategic
Outline exactly what you hope to accomplish and what the impact will be.
M
Measurable
There must be some way of measuring and verifying whether the objective has been achieved and to what level.
A
Attainable
Attainable; not so lofty that you can’t achieve them and not so simple that you won’t be challenged.
R
Relevant
The objectives must be relevant to the level at which the individual is at in his/her career, to the priorities and workload of the specific department
T
Timely
Need to have clear time frames attached to them.
36.Example 1
Develop 3 new trainings
[that respond to training gaps in the competencies training matrix]
One training on improving presentation skills, one on emergency procedures and one on customer service
Trainings delivered in April, August and January
37.Example 2
Collaborate with other circulation supervisors to design an online guide for student assistants
[to improve the time it takes to train them and make it more consistent throughout the Libraries]
The guide should include links to key documents and other resources.
And should be available for Fall 2015 incoming student assistants.

42.Think about it…
Employees want to work for people who have their back – the more real and authentic you are the more you build your relationship
43.To build rapport you need to express a real interest in the employee’s contributions to the work of the Libraries
Spend time preparing
Read the self evaluation
Be thoughtful in your delivery
Create dialogue
Think about it…
44.During the evaluation meeting:
Biggest mistake is when the manager does all the talking
Do NOT read the appraisal during the evaluation session – this is supposed to be a conversation
Think about it…
45.Specificity builds trust and dialogue
Vague, not so much
Think about it…
46.Think about it…
As a manager it is your job to become an expert at giving feedback.
47.What specific feedback could you give your employees that would make them feel part of the team and informed about what they are doing well?
Giving feedback
48.Bringing meaning into work

49.Hard to give negative (constructive) feedback but in reality we need/want it because without it we don’t grow
Put the employee in the best place possible to be successful
Giving feedback
50.I encourage you to have the courage to be frank

51.8 Steps to giving constructive feedback
Introduce the conversation
Be empathetic (if appropriate)
Describe the behavior – ‘I’ve noticed…’
State the impact of the behavior
Ask the person for their perception of the situation – ‘What are your thoughts?’
Be clear about your expectations – ‘Can I count on you to do this?’ – if not then how will the employee meet your expectations?
Build an agreement on next steps
Say ‘thank you’ – ‘thanks for having this conversation with me I know it’s been awkward’
52.Giving feedback
“Who said that?”
“You want to fire me don’t you?”
“After all I do for them this is what I get”
“What?”
“Are you serious?”
“That’s not true”
“It’s just a rumor.”
“Nobody is perfect – we all have faults”
“That’s just the way I am… take it or leave it.”
“If that’s the thanks I get for working hard then…”
“How can I best use this feedback?”
“What can I do to improve?”
“Who can help me change?”
