1st Sergeants’ Corner
Performance levels
One objective of any good leader is to have their Airmen maintain good performance levels.
More often than not though, supervisors will focus mainly on outstanding performers and substandard ones. Airmen who “just do their job” are routinely forgotten. However, it is essential that every leader provide appropriate recognition to all subordinates. In other words, be specific in verbal feedbacks – do not just say, “You’re doing a good job,” and leave it at that.
Instead, identify specific aspects of their job performance and let them know their efforts are appreciated.
Also, look for opportunities to express your confidence in their abilities.
This approach will ensure performance levels continue to meet and even exceed your standards.
