A leader's role is to coach, counsel and cheer on their staff instead of evaluating them. Performance appraisals tear people down and demoralize them, a great manager builds people up through guidance, support and encouragement. Based upon a new book by SHRM, this session introduces a pioneering new performance improvement system, not a rehashed, outdated, traditional appraisal.  This method focuses on the future, establishes rapport between the parties, builds employee skills and confidence, and fosters collaboration.

• Discuss how to engage, empower, and encourage employees to perform at higher levels.
• Hear how to train managers to establish rapport with and coach employees.
