Effective performance management and accountability are essential to fostering excellence, collaboration, and engagement across academic teams and organisational units. This session provides higher education leaders/supervisors and administrators with practical tools and techniques to set clear expectations, deliver constructive feedback, and inspire accountability in ways that support and motivate their colleagues.
Participants will explore strategies to align individual and team efforts with wider University goals, address performance challenges proactively, and create an environment where continuous learning and improvement thrive.
Through interactive discussions and practical resources tailored to higher education settings, participants will build the confidence to navigate complex performance issues, reinforce positive contributions, and enhance trust and collaboration within their academic communities.
