Why is it important to get feedback on your work? Who can give you
constructive feedback? 360 Feedback Advice to managers on giving
constructive feedback: Ask the person to self assess first Give
praise before criticism Limit what you cover Concentrate on what
can be changed Give the appraisee time to think and respond Be
clear and specific not vague Important not to be defensive ask for
comments about specific behaviours and achievements, things you can
learn from, ideas on how you could improve It is a good thing to
give and receive help Note down examples of good and poor feedback
you have had and how you could seek constructive feedback. An
action plan for getting 360 feedback may be something you want to
put into your Personal Development Plan at Activity 2

changes to the way you work this may be something completely within
your own job, or things that affect colleagues: What did you have
to consider when planning this change, how were other people

change, what was the outcome did it work? (c) Auth K Fairweather

(c) Auth K Fairweather 08/01/14 07802 250508 13 Time Management
Know what is important - write down the key goals you are working
towards. (This can apply to all parts of your life.) Consciously
plan your time : using monthly and weekly plans Choose how you
communicate for best use of time: phone, memo, meeting or e-mail.
Write in your diary in pencil, then you won't feel bad about
changing your plans. Avoid being driven by your diary. Just because
something has already been entered, doesn't mean that you can't do
something else with the time. Know when you are at your best, and
schedule work that is important but not yet urgent for that time.
Make the most of 10 minutes - many tasks can be done in a "spare"
10 minutes, including taking a relaxation break. Periodically
review your time effectiveness against the quadrant map, and
against your goals. (The TEAL Trust)

- The Quadrant Map Quadrant 1 Fire Fighting Urgent and important
Quadrant 2 Quality Time Important but not yet urgent Quadrant 3
Distraction Urgent but not important Quadrant 4 Time Wasting
Neither urgent nor important Urgency Importance Plan time so most
of work stays in 2!
Slide 16
Activity 5 Time Management Consider these time management
problems how could they be resolved?: We always have to pick up
work from the previous shift that should have been finished by
them. This means we always have to hand work on to the next shift.
My manager comes into my office and asks me to deal with things
immediately, then I am behind on everything else for the rest of
the day. We seem to spend more time in meetings with managers
talking about how to improve what we do than actually being able to
put improvement ideas into practice. Write down what time
management issues you have in your workplace. Can you come up with
ways that you could manage time more effectively? Write down some
ideas. (c) Auth K Fairweather 08/01/14 07802 250508 15
Slide 17
Being Assertive Being assertive means that you balance your
needs and the needs of others, respecting both See Transaction
Analysis section of the Communications Workshop for techniques to
maintain a rational attitude in the workplace Assertiveness is
important you have a point of view, you have your job to do, you
have the facts, no-one knows what your priorities are as well as
you If there is a problem discuss it with the person, explain your
point of view, listen to theirs, come to an agreed way forward if
agreement not reached follow grievance procedures (See Performance
Management Workshop) (c) Auth K Fairweather 08/01/14 07802 250508

Slide 19
Dealing with Pressure and Setbacks Anything that can go wrong
will go wrong Pressure will turn to stress if you cant cope so:
Identify the problem, exactly what has gone wrong Take control of
the problem and find a solution, there will be one Learn from
mistakes, allow others to learn from mistakes Many issues come down
to better time management Talk to your manager and colleagues about
issues to get ideas for resolving them, or ask for help Take time
out to regain perspective Accept the things you cant change and
move on IF YOU FEEL YOU CANNOT COPE WITH STRESS THEN SEEK HELP YOUR
EMPLOYER SHOULD HAVE SUPPORT AVAILABLE (c) Auth K Fairweather
