B1:
Performance Feedback with Impact
Presenter: Gerard Seijts
Giving feedback is a keystone to accountable systems; without
it, goals and standards are set and then nothing happens! However,
giving feedback to individuals in a way that they are likely to
accept and use it, can be very difficult. This workshop will provide
principles and tips on how to give feedback on performance, and
give you ample opportunity to practice and polish your skills.

B3:
Good Fences Make Good Neighbours: Accountability in Teams
Presenter: Doug Langrell
This
workshop will explore issues that arise in groups or teams. How
can a group be clear on what is an acceptable range of behaviours
for its members? For what are they collectively accountable to
the group leader, supervisor, or manager? What can a team do if
one member is not pulling his/her weight?
In this interactive session you will learn:
- what a group contract looks like
- practical ways to link members' values with behaviours in
a group or team
- a method of chartering a group to make expected outcomes
as clear as possible.
Come prepared to explore and experiment.
