Conducting employee appraisals with the help of the Reiss Motivation Profile®

The design of employee interviews -with all the possible pitfalls that arise -has a lot to do with the personality of the manager, namely with how he or she approaches people. The Reiss Motivation Profile® clearly shows in which interview situations the manager will take a confident approach, and in which he or she may get lost. Incidentally, a lack of empathy is rated by employees as particularly reducing trust. Managers are therefore expected to be able to conduct conversations both empathically and clearly. Conflict avoidance, a lack of ability to engage with others, or overly impulsive behavior in bottleneck situations can quickly come across as lacking empathy and cost trust points. But excessive controlling behavior or going it alone in decision-making situations also often lead to difficulties in understanding and approaching each other. to do this, we need to keep in mind that leadership is first and foremost a behavioral skill -so it makes sense to reflect on our behavior, especially in sequences in which we are not successful. And leadership is first and foremost the ability to enter into or build sustainable relationships with other people.
