"What did you do well?"<br /><br />For improvement, I ask, "How can we be better?" And, "What do we want to do next time?"<br /><br />The idea is to keep them focused on positive performance.Matt Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945656878544904028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865230247828303769.post-28343197511014726222011-01-27T08:37:02.749-06:002011-01-27T08:37:02.749-06:00There's so much good to what you say here Matt...There's so much good to what you say here Matt, I don't know where to start. But Green Bay comes to mind. <br /><br />Well, actually it was Vince, then Green Bay. http://goo.gl/wFNMl With Vince's belief on perfect practice in mind...<br /><br />One way for the manager to help is via feedback and coaching towards their coworkers daily activities. If the coworker is not repeating mistakes, they have the opportunity to grow, develop and get better.<br /><br />With two daughters who played basketball from middle school through high school, eleven years apart, we were around the game (and one very elite program) for around fourteen years. The most successful girls were those who had the internal drive and desire to go out every night and throw down four hundred shots in practice. <br /><br />The most successful coaches were those who supported and integrated the talents of those star girls into a team chemistry. Bad coaches over coached and attempted to change the girls' game (the talented ones). (The extreme negativity that we've witnessed in kids' coaching over the years is a topic for another discussion).<br /><br />For truly great leaps and bounds in performance, hire those who practice on their own. Hint: RSES members who pay their own way. Then ASK THEM how you can help them practice. I've found over the years that, in a technician's case, these types of techs like to hang around others like them. Who knows, maybe if the tech gets that you truly care about his practice and development, he'll encourage his buddies to look into your company.Dave Rothackerhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Standing-out-in-a-Sea-of-Sameness/121653664553169?v=wallnoreply@blogger.com
