Organization and Leadership Review-OLR (5 mins.)
Review slide and highlight:The Organization and Leadership Review (OLR) process was begun in 2003. Currently, employees inbands 1-3 are reviewed through this process every year, although some segments include additional bands.
In addition to the individual employee assessment, the OLR process supports efforts to ensureorganizational capability to meet objectives and drive key organizational improvements by focusing onclosing the gaps between our business objectives and our organizational capabilities such as Six Sigma andGovernance, succession planning and the movement of talent across the segments and business units.
After the business units and segments compete their OLR meetings, the segment and function headspresent their summaries to the CEO, who in turn presents a final summary to the Board of Directors.
Transition: Both the OLR and our new performance management process are tools for improvingperformance. So how is performance improved?

Creating Goal Alignment
Review slide and highlight:
Using the diagram as a guide, we suggest you begin by scheduling a meeting with your employees todiscuss business unit and department goals. This will enable individual goals to align with, and support,overall company goals. The diagram shows how goals flow down through the organization, beginning withcompany initiatives and ending with individual goals.
If you cannot state how the employees performance goal supports the accomplishment of higher levelgoals, then the employees goal should be carefully re-examined.
Its important to remember that if you do not have all the information you need when you initially set your
goals for the newfiscal year, you should still begin the process and make adjustments along the way.

The Goal-Setting Sequence
Review slide and highlight:
The goal setting-sequence begins before, or at the start of, the new fiscal year. The purpose of this step is toestablish goals for the next fiscal year that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-specific andaligned with the companys goals for that year.
The sequence begins with either a group or one-on-one meeting between you and your employees. At thismeeting, you should discuss your department goals and provide a written copy for everyone. Using thesegoals as a guide, have your employees draft their individual goals for your review and approval. While itsimportant to reach agreement on goals and write them down, its also important to remain flexible throughoutthe year because goals may change as business needs shift.
As a best practice, teams and/or departments are encouraged to meet after employees complete their firstdrafts. In this meeting, employees can share their goals with each other to ensure there are no duplications,
overlaps, conflicts or gaps that might cause inefficiencies. These meetings can also be used to set team(joint) goals.
If you are interested in learning more about team goals and goal alignment contact your Human Resourcesrepresentative or Organization Development/Training department.

When filling out the Performance Factorcolumn (for performance goals), identify the factor, such asrevenue, EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) operational excellence, cash, growth, safety etc. Whenfilling out the Target Competency(for development goals) identify the competency or behavior, such asbusiness acumen, drive for results, builds effective teams, etc.
In the Expected Resultscolumn, write specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-specific goals toensure you will be able to assess the quantity and quality of the result. You may also include intermediatecheckpoints in this column.

Review slide and highlight:
Goals help employees understand where their job fits into the organization
Goals increase performance, motivation and behavior development
Highlight the difference between a performance goal and a development goal
Performance goalsare driven by, and aligned with, company, segment, business unit and departmentgoals. Individual goals are most powerful when they are linked to the larger organization. Typically theyfocus on factors such as EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), revenue, operational excellence, cash,growth, safety etc. An employee will typically have two to four performance goals.
Development goalsare individually-driven and focus on the skills, knowledge and behavioral changes
needed to accomplish performance goals or prepare for future assignments. Typically every employee willhave one or two development goals which may focus on leveraging strengths or improving developmentneeds.
SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable Attainable, Relevant and Time-specific. Well explain this inmore detail in just a minute.

Performance Versus Development
Performance Goals
Focus on factors such as EBIT, Revenue,Operational Excellence, Cash, Growth, Safety
Example...reduce scrap 10% by the end of thesecond quarter
Development Goals
Focus on the skills, knowledge and behaviors
Exampleincrease business acumen through improved
understanding of a profit and loss statement, income
statement and balance sheet. Demonstrate ability toread and explain data by the end of the second quarter
Performance Versus Development
Review slide and highlight:
Development goals use the same SMART format as performance goals. Let s take a look at anotherexample.
A development goal in SMART format:
Improve communication skills by learning how to run project meetings that are time efficient, have theappropriate people in attendance, follow and accomplish the published agenda and follow-up on actionitems. A five point survey tool given at each meeting will track progress starting in January andconcluding in December.
Transition: As mentioned earlier, good individual performance goals should be aligned with the larger
organizational goals, but they should also be well written. Lets take a closer look at how to do that.

Writing Goals Overview (40 mins. for this and the next 5 slides)
Review slide and highlight:
In English, SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-specific;characteristics which define well written goals. You may have also seen slightly different words attributed tosome of the letters. The important point is that goals have these defined characteristics:
Specific:Goals should be distinct, clearly-stated and focused on a single result. Vague generalitiesare not goals.
Measurable: State how youre going to know the goal is completedconsider quantity and quality.
Attainable: Goals should be challenging, but feasible. Consider the following: Can the goal beaccomplished with the resources the employee controls? Think of their strengths and development
needs.Relevant: Goals should be relevant to the employees position and the organization. Consider thefollowing: Does the goal support the companys goals?
Time-specific: When will the goal be completed? Deadlines focus an employee s time and attentionwhile encouraging the completion of commitments.

Goal Writing Exercise
Individually:
Read the draft goalDetermine which goal criteria is present
Write a better goal
In groups share your results
Prepare to discuss your options, challenges
Goal Writing Exercise
Exercise (About 30 minutes)
Refer Participants to their Training Supplement (Goal Writing Exercise).
Individually have participants review the draft goals, determine which SMART element is present and thenrewrite the goal to improve it. Direct half the group to work from number 1 through 5. Direct the other half towork from number 5 through 1. (10 mins.)
In smallgroups have participantsdiscuss their work. (10 mins.)
Debrief the large group by asking for feedback on the options they discussed and challenges theyencountered. (10 mins.)
As you can see, writing good goals is a bit of a challenge, though easier with practice. But goals arefrequently moving targets that need to be revised and updated. The easiest way to keep goals on track andaligned with broader goals is to communicate honestly and often. Feedback provides a fast, easymechanism for assessing quantity and quality of progress and making small adjustments before large onesbecome necessary.
For more information or assistance with goal-setting you should contact your Human Resourcesrepresentative.
Transition: While goals provide guidance, feedback is a critical component of ensuring goal attainment.Lets take a closer look

Coins Exercise (10 mins.)
Set-up: 15 coins (5 each of three denominations). One blindfold.
Process: Ask three volunteers to leave the room, get blind-folded and return one at a time. While they are out of theroom, make a 2x2 foot square with masking tape on the floor. Advise participants in the room to remain silent during theexercise.
Guide one blind-folded volunteer to the room, hand him/her 5 pennies, position him about 4 feet from the masking tapesquare, tell him to turn around one or more times and toss the coins on the floor. The volunteer may not ask questions,nor may the group provide any feedback. After that is done remove the blindfold and have the person rejoin the group.Leave the coins on the floor.
Guide the second blind-folded volunteer into the room. Hand her 5 nickels, position her about 4 feet from the maskingtape square, tell her how to face the square and then tell her to toss the coins into the square which is about 4 feet in frontof her. Do not provide any further instructions or feedback. After this is done remove the blindfold and have her rejoin the
group. Leave the coins on thefl
oor.Guide the last blind-folded volunteer into the room. Hand him 5 dimes, position him about 4 feet from the masking tapesquare. Tell him how to face the square. Explain that his task is to get as many coins as possible into a 2x2 foot squaretaped on the floor. Then tell him to toss one coin into the square which is about 4 feet ahead. Based on where the coinlands, provide additional guidance. Repeat this process for all 5 dimes. After that is done remove the blindfold and havethe person rejoin the group. Leave the coins on the floor.
Debrief: Explore how feedback impacted the volunteers ability to be and feel successful. Note how the participants weremore successful when they 1) understood the goal and 2) received frequent feedback.
Transition: Just like in this activity, employees suffer when feedback is missing. We encourage you to provide feedbackthroughout the year.

Four Step Feedback Model
Review slide, discuss and highlight:
This four step model for providing feedback works well for both positive and constructivefeedback.
All four steps work best in the order described above, but providing great feedback takespractice. Even if you only do the first step and/or change the order of the other steps you will stillexperience better results.
Transition:The best feedback situations create a dialogue between the giver and receiver. Thatmeans youll be listening during parts of the conversation. What makes listening effective?

Really Listening
Facilitator Note: The following information is from the work of Robert Bolton in his book People Skills.
Review slide and highlight:
Theres a difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is a physiological process involving the ability to hearsounds and noises. Listening is a psychological process involving understanding and interpreting those sounds andnoises. Listening is a complex topic, however the following skills will help you have a productive feedback conversation.
Attendingis giving your physical attention to another person. Eye contactand being in a non-distracting environmentare two powerful demonstrations of this skill.
Followingallows the listener to stay out of the speakers way so that the listener can discover how the speaker viewsthe situation. Use minimal encouragers, such as really?, tell me more and oh? to let theother person know that youare paying attention.. Infrequent questionskeep the conversation going in a directed fashion without creating the feelingof an inquisition. The key is to ask questions that are non-judgmental and truly allow a dialogue to flow.
Reflectingrequires the listener to restate the feelings and/or content of the speaker in a way that demonstrates
understanding and acceptance. Listeners frequently miss many of the emotional dimensions of a conversation. There isa tendency to concentrate on content, yet the key elements are often based on buried feelings. By simply empathizingwith feelings-- not necessarily agreeing with them -- you can make remarkable progress in a conversation. Finally,paraphrasing, means providing a concise response to the speaker that states the essence of the other s content in thelisteners own words.
You might find it useful to make a reminder list of these skills and keep it in sight when you find yourself giving formal oreven informal feedback.
Transition: Before giving you a chance to practice, lets go over some final hints about feedback.

Hints for Providing Great Feedback
Provide positive and constructive feedback
Focus on behavior not personality
Make it timely
Give a little at a time
Be creative, but sensitive
Document notable feedback
Hints for Providing Great Feedback
Review slide and highlight:
Feedback will provide greater benefits if you are willing to make small efforts. Consider the following:
Provide both positive and constructive feedback. Keep in mind, that providing positive feedback ensures your employeeskeep doing what they do best. However, constructive feedback, if given well, is more likely to lead to improvement orchange. Use both for maximum results. Think about how you would like to hear the message.
Focus on behaviornotpersonality. People rarely change their personality but they can, and do, change their behaviors.
Personality-Focused Comment: Youre sloppy and just dont care.
Behavior-Focused Comment: There are four errors in this report.
Make it timely. Give feedback as soon as possible after the behavior in question. Timely feedback can be acted upon,often immediately. This also prevents unwanted or dangerous behavior from becoming a habit.
Give a little at a time. Provide feedback in small amounts. Offer feedback like Ground Control provides guidance to aspace craft. Ground Control offers many mid-course corrections to ensure a perfect landing, rather than simply pointingthe rocket toward its destination and hoping for the best.
Be creative, but sensitive. Not everyone likes to receive feedback the same manner. Constructive feedback shouldalways be done in private, but positive feedback can take place in either a public or private setting. While some peopleprefer that all feedback be handled privately, others respond well to public group acknowledgement or awards.. Tomaximize the impact of your feedback, consider the preferences of the person involved.
Document notable feedback. Document both positive and constructive feedback. Collect e-mails, customer letters andsummaries of events. While you should keep this information, its even better to encourage employees to track thisinformation and use it when drafting their self-assessments.
For more information or support in providing feedback, contact your local Human Resources representative.
Transition: So far we have focused on providing feedback, but sometimes asking for it is just as important. Lets take alook at how asking for feedback is perceived.

Asking For Feedback
How do you feel aboutaskingfor feedback?

about being asked
to give feedback?
Asking for Feedback
If you want feedback, and you should, ask any and everyone for it.
Ask: How do you feel about askingfor feedback?
Solicit a few answers and move to the next question.
Ask: How do you feel about being askedto give feedback?
Its not unusual for people to feel uncomfortable about asking for feedback. Yet, when most individuals areasked, they find it a fairly pleasant experience. At the very least, they welcome the chance to provide theircomments to a willing receiver. In addition, research has shown that those who seek feedback areconsidered better performers than those who dont. Contrary to popular belief, asking for feedback creates apositive impression!
When you ask for feedback be clear and specific about what youre asking for and you
re most likely to get it.
As a manager you need to encourage your staff to ask for feedback. Let them know you are open and eagerto provide information.
Transition: Asking for and providing feedback is everyones job. Since most of the feedback you will providewill be informal, lets practice before moving into the more formal setting of the performance assessment.

Review Jill example. Highlight how and where to write out notes.
Ask for a volunteer to play Jill and demonstrate the role play (see sample script below).
(Facilitator) Jill, lets talk about how you deferred to me three times in this meeting. Im concerned yourexpertise isnt being recognized. Id like you to take the lead in discussions on this topic. What do youthink?
(Jill) Im kind of shy until I get to know people and I m still feeling my way around, but I agree I need tostart speaking up or people will wonder why you hired me! I ll schedule and lead next weeks meeting.
(Facilitator) OK, it looks like we have a plan. After one more meeting I ll stay out of them entirely andyoull run them on your own. That will allow you to be seen as the project manager. You ll be great.
Debrief the demonstration by asking for feedback on your use of the four step model, and listening skills.Also ask the receiver how it felt and to provide additional feedback. Emphasize that they will debrief theirown role plays in a similar manner.
Allow 5 minutes for participants to select and prep for their role play as a giver. Then form trios and allow 10minutes for all three role plays and debriefs.
Allow 5 minutes to debrief the large group by asking for comments and/or insights on the role play exercise,specifically use of the four step model, listening skills, and how both people felt.

Note to Facilitator: The profile and assessment forms are similar to the ones previously used in the OLR.Our new performance management process uses both plus the addition of the goal-setting form.
In the United States, this process is intended for all exempt-level employees. Outside of the United Statesthis process is intended for all professional, white collar, and indirect labor employees. Some segments maychoose to use this process for all of their employees.
Note: This process should not be used for employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement,unless negotiated. If you have questions or are not sure who should participate in this process, contact your
Human Resources representative.

The Assessment Sequence
Review slide and highlight:The employee completes the profile; this includes career highlights and becomes an internal resume.
Using information from the End of the Year/Results Accomplishments section of the goal-setting form,employees start the process by drafting their own self-assessment and then give it to you. In turn, youcomplete the End of the Year/Results Accomplishments section of the goal-setting form and write the finalassessment. You may use the employees drafts as a starting point, if you wish. In some cases, yourmanager may want to review the assessment before you and your employee meet to discuss the results.
Typically the assessment and goal-setting sequences happen separately. Goal-setting is generally donebefore or at the start of the new fiscal year. This is important so that the employee knows what is expectedat the start of the new assessment cycle. The assessment process begins once the current fiscal year iscomplete. This is done to ensure results for the entire twelve month period are considered.
At a minimum, once signed, the goal-setting form (for the fiscal year in review) profile, and final assessment
should be placed in the employees personnel file. Each segment or business unit may have additional localadministrative requirements once the assessment is signed. Check with your Human Resourcesrepresentative for this information.

The Profile
The Profile (5 mins.)
Review slide and highlight:
The profile form serves as an internal resume. It creates a common and comprehensive information form for internalpromotions and job transfers that can be used within and across functions, segments and business units. This form isupdated annually by the employee.
Employees are responsible for the accuracy of all information on the form. As in any hiring situation, verifying referencesand other information should be completed prior to extending an offer to an internal candidate.
Quickly review the major sections and respond to any questions.
Company Work Experience: List your work experience with our company. Detail assignments starting with the mostrecent (not including current since this information is captured at the top of the form).
Other Work Experience: List your work experience outside of our company starting with the most recent.
Education: List each degree youve earned after secondary (high) school level---starting with the most advanceddegree.
Training/Development: List your top three most significant training experiences in the last five years.
Awards/Patents/Recognition: List the top three.
Licenses and Certifications: List current ones related to your position.
Languages: Languages you speak, read or write.
Career Interests: Indicate your desired next career move and long range career interests. Indicate any preferences forrelocation.

Who Can Provide Performance Information?
Review slide and highlight:
Prior to drafting an employees assessment, you should first seek feedback from other appropriate sources.Seeking feedback from others provides multiple perspectives. You can ask for feedback from peers,customers (internal and external), members of task forces etc.... Feedback can be solicited over the phone,in person or in writing.
Note to Facilitator: There is an important distinction to be made between seeking feedback from others andconducting a 360 survey. The 360 survey can be an exceptional development tool, but should not be
used to assess performance at the end of the fiscal year or conducted for someone who has performanceissues. The 360 survey should be used during the fiscal year as an additional development tool to helpemployees hone in on their strengths and development needs. The 360 survey can be a powerful process
and an excellent tool for improving performance. Contact your Human Resources representative for moreinformation on how to conduct a 360 survey. Human Resources should always be involved in this process.

Develop in place is possibleno timing code
Employees Role:
Identify and discuss current, short andlong term career goals and aspirations
Best Next Moves (10 mins.)
Review slide and highlight:
This section reflects your assessment of the employee
s potential for transfer, lateral move or promotion within the next two years. Indetermining best next moves, both you and your employee should consider the employees:
Current role and performance
Behaviors, especially Learning/Change Agility
Strengths and development needs. Can strengths be leveraged while also further developing the employee?
Is there a good fit in terms of interests and aspirations?
Additionally, you should consider:
What will provide appropriate growth opportunities in the next one to two years?
What is realistic? Be careful not to mislead or promise. Actual progression depends in part on what openings are available and
the number of other qualified candidates.
Can a growth opportunity be provided either laterally, vertically or cross-functionally?
Be specific about the roles you believe the employee can take on in the indicated time frame. This is a great opportunity to discuss your
assessment of the employees potential and what that means for his/her short- and long-term career growth.
Focus on the fact that Best Next Moves are not just about promotions, they are about development. These can be lateral moves thatprovide new challenges or cross-functional exposure.
What goes in the box? Brief descriptions of possible titles, band level, timing and standard function. Develop in place should be
selected if the employee is not ready for a move within two years (there is no timing code for this designation).
Refer participants to pages _______ in their Managers Guide (Appendix- Standard Functions) and page _____ (for timing and

After the Performance Summary, Key Behaviors, Key Questions, and Strengths and Development Needssections have been completed, you have established the foundation for creating a set of developmentactions that the employee will focus on throughout the year. These actions might include:
In-Job assignments: special projects such as task forces, peer-to-peer coaching, cross-training orGreen Belt projects
Coaching/Mentoring either by someone or for someone
Training including instructor-led classes, e-learning, or self-study by reading journals or books
Remember, 70% of learning and development comes through challenging in-job assignments. As amanager, you should think about the time and money needed to complete these actions. This sectionrepresents an agreement that the employee will execute the plan and that you will support that effort.
What goes in the box? A brief description of the target skills/knowledge and suggestions for how to achievethem.
Some people find it useful to create a matrix that lists the target skills/knowledge and possible in-jobassignments, coaching/mentoring and training options.
Refer participants to their assessment form and have them draft the Development Plan section.
Ask: What questions or issues do you have?

Review slide and discuss:
Ask: What do we mean by
Quickly go though each pitfall and solicit answers from participants. Dont chart the answers, just let the conversationflow. Follow-up their responses to each with the definitions below:
Halo/Horns Effect:Tendency to evaluate allaspects of performance based on one favorable or unfavorable factor.
Central Tendency:Tendency to cluster most people near the middle(e.g. all At Standard").
Recency Error:Tendency to focus on recent events rather than the entire assessment period. This is also known as thewhat-have-you-done-for-me-lately syndrome.
Leniency/Severity Error:Tendency togive high marks to everyone (lenient) or overly low marks to everyone (severe).
First Impressions:Tendency to be overly-influenced by initial performance. This is especially common when a manageris heavily invested in a newly hired employee.
Just Like Me:Tendency to give assign better categories to people you perceive to be like you. (The opposite alsooccurs: assigning lower categories to people you perceive as different.)
Self-Serving Bias:This occurs when managers inflate assessments to make themselves look good.
Refer participants to page _______ in their Managers Guide (Summary Categories).
Refer participants to their assessment form and have them select Summary Categories for themselves on bothresults and behaviors. Remind them they will not have to share this information.
Ask: What questions or issues do you have?
Transition: Falling into these pitfalls is usually unconscious, but they can occur. This next tool, the 9-Block, can help youdetermine if you are differentiating your employees...

Review slide and highlight:
The 9-Block is a tool to help you differentiate the results and behavior categories of your employees.
You can plot both categories on this type of chart.
The Block creates an easy to understand visual of the performance of your group.

Review slide and highlight:
Once you have positioned all of your employees in the appropriate blocks, think about the following:
Did I really differentiate high performers from low performers on both results and behaviors?
Do the placements make sense based on my overall organization and how my organization hasperformed?
At our company we do not use forced rankings. This means you are not required to distribute yourcategories in any prescribed manner. This 9-block grid is a working tool, only to be used for differentiation. Ifyou have only a few employees to plot you will likely see less differentiation than if you have manyemployees.
If you have questions or concerns about using the 9-Block you should contact your Human Resourcesrepresentative.
Transition: As mentioned earlier, the assessment portion of the performance management process hasthree steps: completing/updating the profile form, writing the assessment and;
conducting a collaborative discussion. In this next section well focus on the latter.

Plan for the Collaborative Discussion
1. Logistics
Schedule the meeting; allow for a minimum of one hour
Meet Face-to-face No interruptions, turn off all phones
2. Things to Bring
Copies of both the employees self assessment and yourassessment of the employee
Documentation of performance (+/-)
Recommendations and resources for development: FYI Guide
3. Skills to Use
Be ready to use feedback to encourage discussion Be sensitive to potential areas of disagreement
Be open to hearing your employees point of view
Plan for the Collaborative Discussion
Review slide and highlight:
Copies of your assessment and the employees self-assessment make it easier to discuss details. Allow a fewminutes for the employee to review your assessment before you begin the discussion.
Be sure to have supporting documentation (both positive and constructive) with you at the meeting and askyour employee to bring his/hers as well.
Have development resources available to use for the basis of your development discussion. The For YourImprovement Coaching Guideby Lominger is a great tool. You may choose to have the employee use thisresource to develop their own plan prior to or after the meeting.
As you compare your assessment to the employees self-assessment, there may be areas where youdisagree. Much of this can be mitigated by practicing and using the process and skills that have already beenoutlined, but there still may be differences of opinion. Use feedback, listening skills and documentation to workyour way through any difficult areas.
One tool you can use to help you determine how much negotiation and compromise is appropriate is the Ruleof Three. If you can recall three specific examples of an employees behavior that support your position, youmay have a solid case for standing firm on your assessment. Similarly if your employee can supply threeexamples, be open to reconsidering your opinion.
In the end, you are the final decision maker, but you will gain tremendous commitment and buy-in if
you can reach consensus.
Ask: Are there any other actions youve found helpful to consider prior to this type of meeting?
Transition: Once youve had the discussion both you and the employee need to sign the assessment form...
