Structure of this session Review purposes Confirm procedures Discuss your approach
Questions and comments at any time Slides with a green corner disc…
…are identical to those for the reviewers.
Purposes of the scheme To identify an individual’s level of
performance To develop ways of improving that
performance To inform reward mechanisms To model a style of management NB “…should not be used to
address systemic poor performance…”.
Style of management? Management is here to help both
individuals and the University Not soft, but a consultative, listening
style which, in return, expects improvements in individual and collective performance
Not a slavish replication of UK approaches – learn from UK mistakes!
A creative combination of the Egyptian and the British.
