ENABLE: ORCE KICKER - Ask Don't Tell
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
To share our acquired wisdom, we should ask, not tell. Scott tells the story of his former Mentor Kenny McCarthy and how a less learned at age 19 still lives in him today.
This card and story are based on the ORCE framework.
Consider each stage in a little more detail as you listen.
1- Observe: One of the most important things a manager can do to assess their teams’ performance accurately is to observe what people are doing, and how they are doing it.
2 - Record: Keep a note of key performance evidence – both positive and negative. Make sure you mention it at the earliest opportunity: in your regular one-to-one, or sooner if the opportunity arises. Remember that managing performance should be a daily occurrence.
It is not necessary to formally record everything you see, but a mental or physical record will help you to highlight all performance in a timely manner.
3 - Classify: It is important that all examples of performance are recognised and discussed – this is the only way that people will develop and improve.
4 - Evaluate: The final stage of the assessment process is to make a judgement about what the recorded evidence tells you about someone’s performance.
