On today’s episode of The Next Level we talk about three essential ingredients for workplace performance, and a framework to measure that performance.

Joining us today is Dan Gold, an experienced thought leader in human resource management. Dan outlines three ingredients for maximizing performance:

* Knowledge, Skills, and Ability (owned by the employee)

* Desire to perform (0wned by the employee)

* Environment (owned by the employer)

Of course, performance is one thing. You also have to be able to measure that performance. Dan shares his tips for measurement, including:

* Setting expectations

* Seeing people doing the job the way they are expected to

* Giving feedback on what you’ve observed
