COACHING

Page 19: Rahul project(org)123

1. The Process of performance Goal Setting

PERFORMANCE goal setting is largely about bringing into focus the performance

expectations. The following, therefore, are the key components of performance goal

setting process.

1. Establishing Key Result Areas (KRAs)

2. Setting Agreed Objectives/Goals

3. Determining Action plans for objectives

2.Determining Action Plans for Objectives

The second component of performance goal setting is the action plan for the objectives,

which helps employees specify key actions and milestones.

There may not be enough time during the goal setting session to complete the action plans

for every objective that needs them. It is advisable to leave this job to the team member

who may submit them at a later date.

GOAL – 99% uptime for DG sets for the period June 2011 – Dec 2011.

3. Performance Review

“If we want performance in the workplace, somebody has to have the courage and

confidence to determine whether we are getting it or not.”

Andrew Grove

What is Performance Review?

Performance review may be defined as - 'A systematic means of ensuring that managers

and their staff meet regularly to discuss past and present performance issues, and to agree

what future action is appropriate on both sides.'

Performance review must be seen as an intrinsic part of manager's responsibilities and not

as an unwelcome and time-consuming appendage. It is about improving performance and

ultimately effectiveness.

Objectives of Reviewing Performance

Motivation: to provide positive feedback, recognition, praise and opportunities for growth;

to clarify expectations

Development: to provide a basis for developing and broadening capabilities relevant both

to the current role and any future role that the employee may have the potential to carry

out;

Communicating Performance: to communicate to them exactly where they stand in terms

The Process of Performance Review

4. PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK “Feedback is the breakfast of champions.” -Ken Blanchard

Performance Feedback: An Overview

Feedback is 'Information about performance or behaviour that leads to an action to affirm

or develop that performance or behaviour, Performance feedback provides information that

helps employees to alter, change or maintain their behaviours and / or attitudes so that the

organization continues to operate smoothly. The key elements of performance feedback

are:

Description of behavior : Feedback should address the specific action or behaviour you

are trying to recognize or change.

Specific: Feedback must be detailed and individualized for the specific person with whom

you are addressing.

Non-evaluative: When providing feedback, one must not respond in a judgmental way but

only base it on facts.

Timely: It should be given as close to the performance event being addressed as possible.

Empathetic: feedback should acknowledge the feelings of both parties in the discussion.

Types of Feedback

Performance feedback can be delivered in the following three ways:

1. Positive feedback

2. Negative feedback

22

Page 23: Rahul project(org)123

3. Constructive feedback

1. POSITIVE FEEDBACK: Defined as: "providing feedback to someone who has

done something well and deserves praise for his or her efforts. This is feedback

given to a person which reinforces 'good 'performance or behavior, physical

appearance etc. The entire objective is appreciation and reinforcement. positive

feedback reinforces acceptable behavior with the signal that it can be repeated

again.

2. Negative feedback: Defined as: "corrective feedback given for improving 'poor'

performance or behavior.

3. Constructive feedback: This is feedback given with the basic assumption that it

builds on what is good and it plans further development. Constructive feedback

consists of positive feedback, which is given to reinforce acceptable behavior. It

also consists of feedback pertaining to corrective or unacceptable behavior but it is

delivered in a way which is not harsh or rude. The entire objective is to pinpoint

corrective areas with the intention of planning improvement towards growth and

development. Even if one is giving constructive feedback there is a need to word

the feedback carefully. Complete the next worksheet and read subsequent pages to

gain the skill of giving acceptable feedback.

4. PERFORMANCE COUNSELLING

The Institute of Personnel and Development (IPD) as have described counseling:

'Any activity in the workplace where one individual uses a set of skills and

techniques to help another individual to take responsibility for and to manage their

own decision-making whether it is work related or personal." The mantle of helping

individual, in the context of performance counseling is generally donned by the

manager. The purview of performance counseling essentially includes the

motivational aspect affecting professional growth and performance of a subordinate.

23

Page 24: Rahul project(org)123

Performance Counseling is about helping Subordinate Resolve the hindering issues:

Performance counseling always relies on the assumption that the subordinate has the skills,

knowledge and - deep down - the desire to find a solution. They may be too close to the

problem, or too immersed in emotion to be able to think rationally. The manager's role is to

help the subordinate step back and see it differently, so that they can find a new way

forward.

Performance Counseling is about Listening:

Counseling, more than any other managerial conversation, demands deep listening skills.

The manager must give this conversation his undivided attention and as much time as it

needs. It should be understood that the conversation should be private and completely free

from interruption. The manager should limit his responsibility to provide counseling in

areas that directly or indirectly affect subordinate's performance.

Performance Counseling is not about Giving Advice:

Counseling helps to resolve a situation that the person sees as a problem. Counseling is not

giving advice. As a counselor, the manager's role is to provide a different perspective from

which to try out ideas. The counseled person (henceforth referred as the 'subordinate') must

find their own solution and exercise their own responsibility.

The Four Stages of Performance Counseling:

The four stages of performance counseling are very like those of coaching. The main

difference between them is in emphasis. Coaching is about reaching a goal and improving

in some way; counseling is essentially about removing some performance obstacle or

difficulty and simply being able to move on.

24

Page 25: Rahul project(org)123

Stage I: DIAGNOSIS

This is the conversation for relationship. The manager needs to establish at the outset a

positive relationship with the subordinate. During this stage, both the manager and the

subordinate being counseled need to establish the following:

What is the subordinate's perception of the problem?

Where is the blockage?

Stage II: EXPLORATION

This is the conversation for possibility. The manager’s role here is to help the subordinate

to step back and examine the possibilities of the situation. During this stage, the following

questions may be useful:

'Why do you think you feel this way?’

'What kind of response do you think you might get if you told X about this?'

'Who else has contributed to the problem?'

'How do you think this has arisen?'

'What might be the cause of the problem?’

The manager might consider making the conversation more creative at this stage by asking

the subordinate to think about the problem in radically different ways:

'What does this problem look like?'

'If you were the problem, how would you feel?'

'Can you think of another way of expressing the problem?'

A subordinate may all too easily feel pressure at this point to take ownership of a problem

while lacking any desire to. The manager must use all his skill and sensitivity to manage

this most crucial part of the process.

25

Page 26: Rahul project(org)123

Stage III: OPPORTUNITIES

The conversation for opportunity should lead the subordinate to envisage possible courses

of action and their consequences. The subordinate should be moving from emotion to a

more considered attitude without any pressure from the manager.

They should be visualizing various results and the feelings these would evoke. The

subordinate should by now be feeling more enabled to choose a course of action.

Stage IV: ACTION

Now that the subordinate can see the situation more clearly and has assessed various

options, there is a need to make a move. If the manager has helped the subordinate being

counseled to make a clear plan, then the process of counseling has succeeded. Both the

manager and subordinate need to feel hat they have anticipated most of the likely outcomes

of the proposed action and that, between them, they have the resources to cope with the

consequences.

6.COACHING

correction wit“ A Coach is someone who can give hout causing resentment.”

-John Wooden

Coaching is undertaken to bring out the best in people. The first use of the word in the

English language was in reference to a particular kind of carriage. Hence, the basic

meaning is to "transporting a valued person from where he or she is to where he or she

wants to be."

26

Page 27: Rahul project(org)123

Coaching is an ongoing process designed to help the employee gain greater competence

and overcome barriers to improving performance. Coaching differs from training, which is

a structured process to provide employees with the knowledge and skills to perform job

tasks. Coaching is thus closer to practice while training is closer to theory.

Counseling vs. Coaching?

Coaching aims at augmenting performance by increasing the competence of the person to

deal with a given situation. Coaching probably makes a person more able.

Counseling aims at augmenting performance helping the person to overcome a problem

that is causing demonization. Counseling probably makes a person more willing. Both are

need-based interventions.

Qualities of a good Coach

Should be knowledgeable & skillful Should be analytical Good at Planning & Controlling Patience & Sensitivity Very good Communication

A Method of Coaching

Your coaching role becomes effective, when your behavior includes the following elements:

1. Explain & Demonstrate: The manager needs to work with the employees to identify the cause of the performance problem. He then demonstrates how the problem can be solved.

2. Reflect: The subordinate is then allowed to recall the demonstration. He or she is encouraged to ask questions incase there are doubts. All questions are answered.

3. Review Progress: The subordinate is now asked to practice. The performance is reviewed & corrective feedback given.

4. Planning to practice again: Subordinate keeps these inputs in mind and plans to practice again. This leads one back to step 3 and the subordinate’s skill level continues to rise towards the expected level.

27

HOW PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL CAN CONTRIBUTE TO FIRM'S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

METHOD OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

The Performance Appraisal method may be classified into three categories, as shown in

figure.

INDIVIDUAL EVALUATION METHOD

1. CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS

Confidential record are maintained mostly in government departments, though it’s the

performance

2. ESSAY EVOLUTION

Essay evolution is extremely useful in filling information gaps about the employee that

often occur in the better structured checklist method.

3. CRITICAL INCIDENTS

This method is useful for peers to maintains logs on each employee and its behavior.

4. CHECKLISTS

A set of objective or descriptive statements about the employee and the behavior.

5. GRAPHIC RATING SCALE

A printed form is to evaluate the performance of an employee. It is the most common

method of evaluation of an employees.

6. MBO

The MBO process seems to be most useful with managerial personnel & employees who

have a fairly wide range of flexibility & self control in their jobs.

29

Page 30: Rahul project(org)123

MULTIPLE PERSON EVALUATION TECHNIQUES

1.RANKING METHOD

In ranking method superior ranks his or her subordinates in the order of their merit, starting

from best to the worst.

2. PAIRED COMPARISON METHOD

Under this method the appraiser compares each employees with every other employee, one

at a time.

3. FORCED DISTRIBUTION METHOD

The forced distribution method operators under an assumption that employee performance

level conforms to a normal statically distribution..

OTHER TECHNIQUE

PSYCHOMETRIC TEST

The word psychometric is formed from the Greek words for mental and measurement.

Psychometric tests attempt to objectively measure aspects of your mental ability or our

personality. Psychometric test are most likely to encounter psychometric testing as part of

the recruitment or selection process and occupational psychometric tests are designed to

provide employers with a reliable method of selecting the most suitable job applicants or

candidates for promotion.

Psychometric tests are seldom used in isolation and represent just one of the methods used

by employers in the selection process. The usual procedures for selecting candidates still

apply, for example: A job is advertised and you are invited to send in your resume, which is

then checked to see if the organisation thinks that your experience and qualifications are

30

Page 31: Rahul project(org)123

suitable.

These tests aim to measure attributes like intelligence, aptitude and personality, providing a

potential employer with an insight into how well you work with other people, how well

you handle stress, and whether you will be able to cope with the intellectual demands of

the job.

There are two main types of psychometric tests:

  1. Ability test

2. Aptitude test

1. ABILITY TESTS – Measure your ability to perform or carry out different tasks.

Personality Questionnaires - Measure your way of doing things, and specifically the way

you interact with your environment and other people.

2. APTITUDE TESTS - Aptitude test are designed to assess your logical reasoning or

thinking performance. They consist of multiple choice questions and are administered

under exam conditions. They are strictly timed and a typical test might allow 30 minute..

Verbal Ability - These include questions which test your ability to spell words correctly,

use correct grammar, understand analogies and follow detailed written instructions.

Numeric Ability - These include questions on basic arithmetic, number sequences and

simple mathematics. In more complex numerical critical reasoning questions, blocks of

information are provided that require interpretation.

Abstract Reasoning - These tests are usually based on diagrams and measure your ability

to identify the underlying logic of a pattern and then determine the solution.

Spatial Reasoning - These tests measure your ability to manipulate shapes in two

dimensions or to visualize three-dimensional objects presented as two-dimensional picture.

31

Page 32: Rahul project(org)123

PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENT

Psychometric test is similar to psychological testing but usually involves a more

comprehensive assessment of the individual. Psychometric assessment is a process that

involves the integration of information from multiple sources, such as tests of normal and

abnormal personality, tests of ability or intelligence, tests of interests or attitudes, as well as

information from personal interviews. Collateral information is also collected about

personal, occupational, or medical history, such as from records or from interviews with

parents, spouses, teachers, or previous therapists or physicians. A psychometric test is one

of the sources of data used within the process of assessment; usually more than one test is

used.

TYPES OF PSYCHOMETRIC TESTS

1. FIRO-B

2. LOC

1. FIRO-B

FIRO-B stands for Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior.

Developed by William Schutz in 1958, Schutz first used the FIRO-B tool to assess how

teams performed in the US Navy.

The FIRO-B is an assessment tool used to help individuals and teams better understand

their preferences in satisfying three basic social needs:

Inclusion (the degree to which one belongs to a group, team or community)

Control (the extent to which one prefers to have structure, hierarchy and influence)

Affection (one's preference for warmth, disclosure and intimacy).

For each of these factors, FIRO-B assesses individuals as to:

How much they express the needs and

How much they want to have the needs expressed to them from others.

32

Page 33: Rahul project(org)123

In this respect, FIRO-B is measuring the three aspects of Inclusion, Control and

Affection, from two 'needs perspectives' of expressing (outwardly directed behavior

towards others) and wanting (behavior from others directed towards oneself).

The FIRO-B model and assessment tool can also provide information regarding

leadership styles and areas of potential conflict.

2 .LOC

A locus of control orientation is a belief about whether the outcomes of our actions are

contingent on what we do (internal control orientation) or on events outside our personal

control . It has two type

1. External Locus of Control

Individual believes that his/her behavior is guided by fate, luck, or other external

circumstances

Externals can lead easy-going, relaxed, happy lives.

2. Internal Locus of Control

Individual believes that his/her behavior is guided by his/her personal decisions & efforts.

Internals can be psychologically unhealthy and unstable.  An internal orientation usually

needs to be matched by competence, self-efficacy and opportunity so that the person is

able to successfully experience the sense of personal control and responsibility.  Overly

internal people who lack competence, efficacy and opportunity can become neurotic,

anxious and depressed.  In other words, internals need to have a realistic sense of their

circle of influence in order to experience 'success'.

33

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Definition of Research:-

By Clifford Woody-

“The process which includes defining and re-defining

problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solution; collecting,

organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching

conclusions and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine

whether they fit the formulating hypothesis “

Research Design:-

The project report is based on following on research types:-

Descriptive Research: - It is fact finding investigation with adequate

interpretation. It focuses on particular aspects of problem being

studied. It is design to gather descriptive information. Data are

collected by using one or more appropriate methods like, observation,

interviews and questionnaire.

Analytical Research: - In these research facts, information used to

make critical evaluation. In analytical research detailed analysis of

facts is given.

The detailed information was collected by interviewing them

personally in the office with help of questionnaire.

Research technique

Method of survey was chosen for completion of the project.

Type of questions

The type of questions in the survey was close ended questions with

limited probing as well as open ended questions.

45

Page 46: Rahul project(org)123

Type of questionnaire

In this survey, structured questionnaire was used. The questions were

presented with exactly the same wording and in the same order to all

respondents. And the questions were prepared in advance and not on

the spot during the questioning period.

DATA COLLECTION:-

Facts, information or premises, systematically collected and formally

presented for the purpose of drawing inferences called as data.

There are two types of data:-

1 Primary Data-

For the purpose of the project the method of ''direct interview'' was

selected. The industry was selected as unit and selectively respondents

were chosen as representatives from each department. The manager

and the employee were questioned based on questionnaire. The data

was collected from each manager and employee chosen as respondents

and selectively respondents were chosen as representative from each

department.

Basic methods of collecting primary Data:-

Observation.

Interview.

Questionnaire and schedules.

For data collection we use following methods:-

QUESTIONNAIRE :-

The questionnaire is a form prepared and distributed to secure

responses to certain questions. In the questionnaire, questions are taken

with positive negative replies. The replies of the candidates are

analyzed on few parameters.

46

Page 47: Rahul project(org)123

The questionnaire can be of two types:-

a) Structured Questionnaire:

b) Unstructured Questionnaire:

Questionnaire is yet another method used by me to know more about

training program effectiveness. In this study most of the questions in

the questionnaire are closed ended questions.

Questionnaire was used as an instrument for the collection of primary

data because of the following reasons:-

1. Since the assignment involved studying the employee’s perception,

behavior & attitudes the questionnaire as a tool offered high versatility

and ease of administration

2. Face to face interaction is possible, which helps in observing and

noting the finer aspects of the respondent’s body language.

3. Queries from the respondents can be easily answered.

4. It provides more clarity to respondent regarding the purpose that

avoids the misinterpretation.

This was the most popular and useful method for conducting the

survey. It helped in collecting the information from the framed

questions to get maximum necessary data required for research. Thus

the questionnaire helped in various ways:-

Respondents had an adequate time to give well thought answers.

Through informal discussion much more information could be

obtained from the respondents.

47

Page 48: Rahul project(org)123

For this study observation is used as one of the tool:-

Interview method:-

An interview is technique for collection of primary data. In interview method participants as

well as superiors are interviewed after two months of training program, to know the

usefulness of training program.

2 Secondary Data -

The secondary data means data that is already available in various reports, dairies, books,

periodicals etc. the data presented in research report when used again for further research is

called secondary data.

Sources of secondary data can be classified as:

A. Published sources

B. Unpublished sources

SAMPLE SIZE:- 60 EMPLOYEES

Sample size: refers to determining how many elements (units) of the population should be

included in the sample

For the collection of data, we had taken 100 respondents of managerial grade which were

selected randomly.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Since, the duration of the summer internship was limited to only 60

days, this time period was not really sufficient for studying in depth

about the Training and Development.

The analysis was based on the views and opinion of respondents.

It can't be assure that the collected data has high degree of precision &

accuracy.

Some respondents could not respond due their busy schedule.

Limited availability and accessibility of secondary data.

Secrecy of the organization creates hesitance on the part of the

concerned authority to come out accurate response.

Two months project duration was one of the major limitation as I

could not cover all the aspect of my project.

58

Page 59: Rahul project(org)123

Page 60: Rahul project(org)123

CONCLUSIONS

As per the employee's responses in exit interviews, communication

meet and other channels of formal and informal communication

provide input for measuring employee well being, satisfaction and

motivation.

The performance appraisal system is helpful for better understanding

between management and employee.

It brings role clarity among performer, so they can give their 100% for

organization to achieve their goals.

The system is effective to improve the skill level of employee and can

utilize their time and competencies well.

The current performance appraisals system creates the competitive

culture in the organization so it help to identify the potential of

performer /employee and it also help to improve the organizational

performance for attaining the organizational goals.

60% satisfied with psychometric tests.

66% of employees have ILOC they would generally perceive himself

as only responsible of their work.

Most of the employees are social, extrovert, effective communicator,

supportive and highly affectionate in company.(recognize by FIRO-B

TESTS and personal meeting).

The Performance appraisals system can identify the training and

60

Page 61: Rahul project(org)123

development needs, so the management helps to employee by giving

training and other strategies.

SUGGESTIONS

As some of employee are not aware of planning and monitoring of

their performance, they should be given training for the same.

There should be regular communication between superior and

employee, so that there can be more of transference for building

confidence among employees regarding performance appraisals

system and for showing better and improved performance.

There should be more of motivation to the employee by monitory and

non- monitory motivational factors. As they give annual increments,

they can give more of monitory incentive and the non-monetary factor

such as arranging the function for recognizing the employee's

performance so that the employee can be motivated.

To enhance the performance level, the company should support the

employee and there should be more of involvement of employee in

decision making for motivating them.

Promotion is an important non -monitory technique of motivation so

the company must use this motivation techniques efficiently by

reducing the consistency period to 2-3 years and consider the factor

like experience, skill, intelligence etc.

The performance appraisals should be conduct half yearly.

If your total score is 40 or higher you probably feel in

control of your life and what happens to you, the good

and the bad. You are likely to take initiative in

relationships, work and career.

A score of 30 to 39 also suggests an internal locus of

control, though less definitely.

If you scored 10 or lower the opposite is probably true –

you feel you don’t have much control over what

happens.

A score of 11 to 19 carries a similar, though less

pronounced meaning.

A score of 20-29 falls in between. There is real scope for

you to develop your internal locus of control further.
