As a leader, how will you measure the success of your team members?

Question

Rachelle Enns · Accepted Answer

"My favorite way to measure the success of my team members is to view individual and group productivity reports, and compare the data month after month. Then, I share the results in their monthly performance reviews. When an employee knows that I notice even a small uptick in their productivity, they are more likely to perform at their peak ability."

Rachelle Enns · Answer

A successful leader focuses' on leading their team members to success, but they must also remember to measure that success. By measuring success, you can show your team how far they have come towards reaching their goals or how much harder they need to work if they miss targets. Employees are often more responsive in an environment where they know how their performance stacks up again others. Some ways that you can measure the success of your team may include: - Note their attendance, punctuality, or number of sick days. You can then draw a correlation between the employee's performance and their overall engagement levels.
- Taking note of how often they help their colleagues to succeed. When their coworkers are winning, so are they!
- Looking at the timing between team member performance and how quickly each person completes everyday tasks. If a job that used to take a team member 2 hours, is now taking up the entire day, this is a sign that they are highly demotivated.
- Notice the number of times a team member takes the initiative. The more proactive everyone is, the more often goals will be achieved.
- Measuring the quality of your team members' work is a significant success metric. You can analyze this through customer reviews or co-worker feedback.

"Successes are important to measure. I like to measure proactive activities and praise my team every time I see them taking action without being asked. This initiative could mean going above and beyond for a customer, cleaning areas of the store that receive less attention, or finding new efficiencies to benefit the company."

"As a teacher, it's important that my students, and their guardians, are aware of their progress. I start the year by creating an individual learning plan with each student. Every month we review the plan together, and the student is responsible for rating their performance from 1-5. This approach keeps students accountable for their achievements and successes."

"I'd measure them in a normalized fashion. So it won't be just about how big of an impact you had vs. your teammates. I'd measure their success against the level of difficulty, timeliness, and quality of the body of their work. This would be measured against the standard they have already shown they can work at. The key is to continue to improve and not rest on your laurels."
