Point “Problems that we can solve through the knowledge of experts are technical challenges. Problems that experts cannot solve are called adaptive challenges. Solutions to technical problems lie in the head and solving them requires intellect and logic. Solutions to adaptive problems lie in the stomach and the heart and rely on changing people’s beliefs, habits, ways of working or ways of life.” Ron Heifetz JLF Consulting www.embracinglearning1.com

People McClelland's Theory of Motivation **Those with a strong power motivator are often divided into two groups. People with a personal power drive want to control others. People with an institutional power drive like to focus the efforts of a team to further the company’s goals JLF Consulting www.embracinglearning1.com
People • Achievement • Set challenging goals • Feedback should be balanced. They don’t want an entirely glowing evaluation, they want to know what they can do to improve. • Affiliation • Begin the conversation by acknowledging them. These folks don’t like public praise. • Power • Motivate them by knowing their goals and structure feedback so they know you are helping them further their career goals.

Evaluation-once they have had a chance to explain their views, you have a chance to agree or disagree but you can use their thoughts as a springboard for the conversation. • Conclusion-this is where you can resolve any differences of opinion. This stage should focus on what you observed through authentic evidence based on the metric NOT your subjective opinions. JLF Consulting www.embracinglearning1.com
Action-based on what you have discussed, what are the next steps. EVERYBODY should have a next step. Consider this in writing but NOT as part of the formal, summative evaluation JLF Consulting www.embracinglearning1.com
