Foundational Knowledge
Why is managing team performance important?

Team performance management is important for some of the following reasons:

It helps build improvement

3
 Course Code

Team performance management is important because it helps build improvement in almost every aspect of the team. It helps
team members individually improve concerning their goals, standards and margin of error in work. Evaluating team progress
can also improve the rate at which a team works, including the total margin of error allowed for a project.

It encourages teamwork

Team performance management can be important for a team because it helps improve teamwork. Some team performance
management tactics involve creating multiple teams, even in a department where teams aren't as common as others. Creating
teams purposely for the sake of evaluation encourages teamwork and building.

It monitors progress

Exercising team management skills improves overall progress. Because team management involves checking the progress of
employees on an individual and team-based level, exercising team management can help improve a department on both
accounts. Team management allows department managers to evaluate progress with focused intent, allotting more focus
toward team evaluation rather than orchestrating goals or deliveries independently.

How to manage team performance

If you want to manage your team for performance goals, consider some of the following steps:

1. Set effective goals

To have a team understand and complete new goals, consider making them SMART goals. These are objectives with qualities
that make them easier to perform due to their clarity of expectation and detail. SMART goals meet the following sets of criteria:

 Specific: Be specific concerning expectations, measurements and due dates of team members.
 Measurable: Try to use units that are measurable and easy to understand. This can help establish expectations
quickly.
 Achievable: Setting goals well within your team's capabilities ensures you can evaluate their performance on an
accurate scale.
 Relevant: While the purpose of performance evaluation is a measurement, the goals your team completes should still

 Course Code

be relevant to the company. Keep your goal relevant to company duties and current employee obligations in the
workplace.
 Time-based: Make your evaluated goals time-based. This can ensure expectations have a limit so that proper
evaluation of work can result from your SMART goal.

Modern Management: Concept & Skills

Having considered modern concepts and recommendations of domestic and foreign successful entrepreneurs (benchmaking)
in modern management, an analysis and evaluation of innovative approaches and updated technologies that are necessary for
the organization of effective management in any institutions. Modern theories and approaches of various scientists in the field
of management are analyzed. The so called "strong team formula" has been developed, which will allow companies to take
leading positions in the period of modern crisis phenomena and global economic changes.

Management systems are evolving. We have come to the conclusion that it is more efficient to manage systems of any type by
decentralized methods. This applies to both the social structure of the company and digital technologies.

The Principles of Modern Management

In the book The Future of Management, Gary Hamel walks through the principles upon which modern management gives us a
nice way to frame looking at what he calls the modern management principles, by looking at their application, and their
intended goal.
