Performance Manager CMIOLP (CMI Open Learning Programme)

The Performance Manager is a workbook that examines what makes a high performing team and then turns to the practical steps you can take to improve your teams performance. Successful organisations need good team working. The output of an effective team is greater than the sum of the individual performances of team members. However building a high performance team is often the most demanding task for a manager, particularly if team members are dispersed. People, unlike systems and procedures, are highly individual and can be extremely unpredictable. Blending a group of distinct personalities into a team is a difficult challenge for all managers. The Performance Manager enables you to: *Identify the strengths of weaknesses of your team against the characteristics of a high performing team *Use theories of motivation to get the best from your team *Check alignment within your team and within the wider organisation *Plan and prioritize objectives *Undertake regular performance reviews with your team *Provide appropriate feedback to team members *Explore issues around poor performance with individual team members *Know the procedures for implementing disciplinary and grievances procedures The Performance Manager is a new edition in the Chartered Management Institute's Open Learning Programme.
