Leadership and performance management

Only if the targeted functions are clear, if feedback systems are transparent to all those concerned and if they are part of an overall concept of leadership, motivation, advice and development, will they be able to unfold their potential. In the course of the workshop, a psychological basis for goal setting, assessment and development will be created. By way of example, models of assessment, feedback and development systems will be presented and requirement criteria for effective procedures will be worked on. Managers, members of the works council and of the staff council will acquire the skills to participate constructively in the advancement of assessment and development tools and to employ them in a goal-oriented manner.
