Performance Conversations: How to Use Questions to Coach Employees, Improve Productivity, and Boost Confidence (Without Appraisals!)

Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.firsthuman.com/being-human-newsletter/

This week's guest on Being Human is Christopher D. Lee, PhD, author and the HR Director at one of the USA's oldest and most prestigious colleges, William & Mary. Christopher has a passion for human performance. There are three things we know about traditional performance appraisals: they are widely used, universally despised, and probably ineffective. What should leaders do instead? Adopt a coaching mindset and commit to regular, structured performance conversations. Christopher offers a wealth of insight and practical ideas about how to elevate these conversations for deep impact.

We talk:

  • The mentor that changed Christopher's life
  • Why relationships matter
  • Your job is not to evaluate
  • Focus on intent
  • Have people feel good
