Performance Appraisal to Build High Performing Teams
"Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is."
—Erich Fromm
Many Organizations Ignore Their Greatest Capital
Look at your balance sheet and gaze over all those capital assets. You are probably missing your most important one - your human capital talent. For without employees, your organization would not survive less alone grow.
To be able to leverage all that potential within your human capital talent begins by understanding each individual's strengths and how those strengths can be combined to create exceptional teamwork that leads to a high and sustainable performance culture..
Effective Performance Appraisals
There are many types of employee performance appraisals. Some focus on personalities as well as provide subjective viewpoints. However is this approach the best one to build a culture of high performance? Would it not make more sense to have a performance appraisal that looks to the "Whys" of the behaviors instead of the observable "Hows"? The "Whys" are really about the decision making process.
Great Decisions Are the Key
A high performance culture and winning teams go beyond having the right people on the bus. When individuals understand their strengths which are the measurable actions from their decision making process, then they can begin to take specific and directed actions of continuous improvement through self improvement. The end result is that the organization is working smarter not harder because it has leveraged the potential within its greatest asset - human capital.
The Necessity of Performance Appraisals
Your human capital talent is your greatest asset. Winning companies are those where human capital talent management has been maximized allowing individuals to reach and expand upon their existing potential. One of the key issues facing many organization is succession planning - Who will lead our company, our department or our team to that next level? Another issue is building great teams within and outside of key departments.
Whether the issue is succession planning or team building, understanding how your employees make their decisions is the first step before understanding how they are perceived by others. Unfortunately, most organizations have not leveraged their existing human capital talent well because they are relying on older performance appraisal tools. That is until now.
Innermetrix Profile Performance Appraisal
The Innermetrix Profile is the new tool for the 21st century performance appraisal process. This assessment is based on the works of Dr. Hartman's research specific to the science of Axiology that being "the branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of value and the types of value as in morals, aesthetics, religion and metaphysics." (Source: Webster's New World Dictionary, 2nd Edition)
Just think of all the many problems facing organizations since the start of the 21st century - Enron, Wall Street Meltdown, Political Corruption. Has not most of them been because people made bad decisions because of the nature of their values?
The decisions we make are directly connected to our behaviors. Hartman's work revealed that there exists three (3) distinct styles of decision making and we view the world from an external perspective as well as an internal perspective. From his work, emerged a deductive assessment tool as compared to an inductive assessment tool that being the majority of the other performance appraisal tools.
Through 78 core attributes, profiles can be determined for the following:
- Executive Leadership Skills
- Leadership Skills
- Management Skills
- Supervision Skills
- Sales Skills
- Customer Loyalty Skills
