Coaching feedback is
based on a good
supportive relationship
and on the follower doing
a self-assessment of
performance. It is
specific, descriptive, and
makes people feel like
winners.
Criticism is judgmental
and makes people feel
like losers.

List and demonstrate individually each step
P Trainer performance of the task

process and treat due to level of the employee performance
F
Follow-up
Monitor the workers’ performances as they complete the steps,
and correct their actions
28. Attribution Theory ● used to explain the process
managers go through to
determine the reasons for
effective or ineffective
performance and deciding what to
to about it
○ observe an individual’s behavior, we
attempt to determine whether it was
internally or externally caused.
● That determination depends on
three factors:
○ Distinctiveness
○ Consensus
○ Consistency
30. 5 Levels of Employee Performance

they should do, how they should do it
● Doer
○ begin to understand what tasks they are responsible for and how to do these tasks
● Performer
○ start completing their work up to the standards
● Master
○ they are skilled enough to complete their tasks effectively and efficiently
● Expert

their team effectively.

people are in disagreement
and opposition

organisation
34. How do conflicts
occur? ● Strong differences in values,
beliefs or goals

37. Avoidance or withdrawal
● Passively ignore the conflict rather than resolve it.
● A lose-lose situation is created because the
conflict is not resolved.
38. Accommodation or smoothing
● Passively giving in to the other party.
● You attempt to satisfy the other party, neglecting your
own needs by letting others get their own way.
● A win-lose situation is created, as you try to please
everyone.
39. Competition or authoritative command
● Using aggressive behavior to get his or her own way.
● When you use the forcing style, you are uncooperative
and aggressive, doing whatever it takes to satisfy your
own needs—at the expense of others, if necessary.
● A win-lose situation is created.
40. Compromise
● Resolve the conflict through assertive, give-and-
take concessions.
● When you use the compromising approach, you
are moderate in assertiveness and cooperation.
An “I win some, you win some” situation is created
through compromise.
41. Collaboration or problem solving
● Jointly resolve the conflict with the best solution
agreeable to all parties.
● When you use the collaborating approach, you are
being assertive and cooperative.
● A true win-win situation.
