In HRchat episode 578, we consider reinventing performance management and how positive psychology can help organizations rethink, reimagine and reinvent performance management and leadership practices.
My guest this time is Amin Sorour, Director of Human Resources at the Egyptian Banking Institute. Amin is a frequent conference speaker, contributing to many global and regional HR and Leadership events across different countries. He has been recognized recently as one of the most influential HR Leaders from the Middle East by ETHR World Middle East. Amin is a founding member and part of the advisory council of the Intelligent Leadership Hub (ILH).
Questions for Amin include:
- Tell us about your role at the Egyptian Banking Institute
- Why do organizations need to rethink their performance management?
- In today’s post-digital era, BANI world and with chat GPT penetrates almost all aspects of our life; how should organizations, leaders and employees perceive the impact of such a powerful technology? Is it a threat or a blessing?
- What other factors should we consider as design elements for a more modern, agile and flexible performance management system?
- The ongoing performance conversations and coaching have been some kind of a buzzword for reinventing performance management over the past decade at least, but some might complain it doesn’t make much difference, what are your thoughts about and how does it fit in the basic constructs of positive psychology?
