Mager) Committing your goals to paper increases the likelihood of your achieving them by one thousand percent! (Brian Tracy) The longest journey begins with the first step. (Lao Tsu)

  19. What is an objective? An important part of the job which makes a significant impact on achieving its overall purpose A concise, precise and measurable statement of intended action

  21. To know To understand To appreciate To be familiar with To perceive To be aware of To think about To write To demonstrate To define To solve To identify To explain To select Articulating SMARTER Objectives Avoid the abstractUse action verbs

  22. Three Part Objectives There are three parts to an objective: The performance element The conditions - refers to environment, equipment, etc The standards of achievement required

  23. Bias in Assessment Halo – assessing highly because of one strength Horns – assessing poorly because of one weakness Recency – allowing events close to time of assessment to have unfair weighting Strictness/Leniency – assessing consistently but too high or low

  24. Safety– avoiding negative comments in order to avoid conflict Attribution – failing to take account of the context in explaining others failures Blindspot – failing to detect weaknesses as same weaknesses exist in the assessor Stereotyping/Prejudice – allowing own beliefs to influence judgements Bias in Assessment

  25. Avoiding Bias in an Assessment How far do I feel competent to judge my staff’s performance objectively? What evidence do I have to support my claim of objectivity? Could I be guilty of any bias in my judgement?
