Create a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation of
12-15 slides that covers performance evaluation of nonmanagement employees,
performance improvement/development of nonmanagement employees, and
management/leadership development.
During Module 4, start the PPT project by:
Presenting a brief outline of the performance
evaluation process.
Locate a personal past performance appraisal
(if you do not have a personal appraisal review the webiste in course materials
for examples)
Analyze each performance factor or criterion
on the performance appraisal and address the following steps
1. Are the
expectations for each performance criterion clear (i.e., will the employee know
what they need to do to meet the criterion)?
2. Is the
criterion measurable (i.e., will the employee know how close to, or how far
from, he or she is to meeting the criterion)? Describe the review process you
went through and your findings in the PPT presentation.
During Module 5, continue the project by
describing the purposes of each intervention presented on the evaluation,
specifically addressing cognitive and behavioral theories of human learning.
Also, provide common examples of other interventions used in the field. Expound

interventions benefit the organization? Make sure to distinguish between
training and professional development interventions.

explaining the role of Management and Leadership development within
organizations. Compare the approaches organizations take in developing managers
to the approaches they take when developing non-management employees. Looking
