TOP 10 GEMS of From Boo-Hiss to Bravo!

1. “Bottom-up” Scorecards (xvi)
2. Promising to use the first 3 months as a “doesn’t count” trial with no negative consequences. (19)
3. Be excruciatingly specific so the person will know exactly what to do again. (77)
4. Performance measurement isn’t reserved for the end of the year or quarter but proudly tracked, posted, and achieved by the person most in control – the PERFORMER -the person whose performance is being measured. (xix)
5. We know the difference between reinforcement and gifts. Reinforcement is an action following a behavior intended to increase that behavior’s frequency and strength. Gifts are actions or items given non-contingently – just because we want to do something good for someone, with no connection to behavior. (71)
6. Ask the person if he would like to teach someone the skill you’ve reinforced? (81)
7. The principle goes for tangible items: coffee mugs, t-shirts, hats, gift certificates, etc. When such items are not PAIRED (given together) with specific, personal comments about the person’s behavior, they lose their reinforcement value. (67)
8. Use “positive gossip” (telling a 3rd person about an individual’s good performance). (82)
9. Benefits include — Discovering what not to measure, which often happens first when setting goals. This experience leads us to the correct measure. (19)
10. Useful phrases for coaching to create and score. These are very good. (57-58)
