Team conversation

In this vodcast, a Developing Performance team conversation is modelled. A Developing Performance team conversation is where all members of the team (including the team leader) discuss their individual strengths and areas for development, and where, together, they establish team development goals. This vodcast can be used in conjunction with the Information Session PowerPoint presentation for school-based employees, slotting in after slide 26.

Vodcast for public sector employees Growing a 'Developing Performance Culture' in your workplace
Presenter: Tracey Flint
Project Team: Veronica Merry, Kylie Marshall, Luke Messer

In this vodcast, the Developing Performance Framework is explained through an interactive case study in the form of applied theatre called a 'prophetical'. Ongoing conversations are at the core of the developing performance process. This vodcast provides examples of the types of developing performance conversations that would occur throughout a work period, between a team leader and a team member.

The intent of the 'prophetical' is to engage participants in considering how they and their team can work together to promote and maintain a culture where conversations about their performance and its development is embedded into daily practise. The vodcast highlights that this process is not about managing performance, it is about developing performance.

The team acknowledges the work of Dr Neil Carrington, Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and Professor Brad Hasseman, Queensland University of Technology in the development of the content and concepts presented in this vodcast.
