Week 3 Assignment  

Performance Management Coaching Simulation Prep

In Week 4, you will have an opportunity to put theory into practice by participating in an online simulation experience within a virtual classroom environment. This unique simulation experience will allow you to interact online in real time with an avatar representing a department manager who is struggling to buy-in to the importance of the performance management system.

Important Note: You will not be graded on your performance during the Simulation activity in Week 4; rather, this exercise is a tool to practice your skills and reflect on your coaching approach.

In the Simulation, you will be presented with four challenges surrounding interaction with Max, the department manager, and you will have the ability to effectively communicate the importance of Global ProTech’s performance management system. Use the time this week to review the specifics of the experience and interactions in the materials below. After the Simulation is complete in Week 4, you will have an opportunity to reflect on and discuss your experience during the Performance Management Coaching Simulation Discussion in Week 5.

Before you begin this Assignment, review the following resources, which provide additional information to help you prepare for your Week 4 Simulation. Then, complete the Simulation Preparedness Assignment as outlined below.

Simulation Preparedness Assignment Details

As a representative of the Human Resources Department, you want to be sure your meetings are successful and that you are able to effectively articulate your message. In order to achieve this, you must spend time before the meeting to prepare. A key best practice for meeting preparation is to draft meeting notes for yourself. These notes should include a list of key topics you want to cover with your attendee(s), overall meeting goals, and any follow-up/action items you want to discuss.

To complete this Assignment, use the Simulation Meeting Notes Template to write-down important areas of the performance management system you would like to discuss with Max the department manager for Global ProTech. Be sure to consider the following questions in your meeting notes.

How will you greet the manager and begin the conversation to create an open dialogue yet address accountabilities, organizational expectations, etc.?

How will you start the coaching session with Max the manager and how will you help Max to feel comfortable talking with you while still establishing his responsibility as a manager for Global ProTech?

Consider strategies for reviewing the Global ProTech performance management system with Max to best elicit his receptivity to changing his current behavior(s) and practices.

How will you help Max discover and articulate the next steps he needs to take?

How might you end the coaching session, e.g., is it important to establish a follow up meeting with him, do you need to coach Max to meet with Jill within a short timeframe, etc.?

Once you have completed your meeting notes, submit them by Day 7 for participation points and save them for your Week 4 Simulation.
