My GPS Performance Management

Grow and Perform at Stanford (GPS) supports a collaborative partnership between you and your manager to align goals, check-in and recalibrate together, and celebrate successes throughout the performance year. Below you will find tools and resources for each phase in the GPS process:

• Goal Setting
• Check-ins
• Annual Review

Goal Setting

Setting goals is a collaborative process between you and your manager. By taking a synergistic approach, you can set clear, concrete and connected expectations for results and behaviors to foster a partnership for a successful year for you, your team, and your organization. 

Goal Setting process:

Check-ins

Two-way, open frequent conversations build a partnership for growth that allows you and your manager to set destinations, course-correct and celebrate successes as destinations are reached.

Discussing goal progress and milestones during a check-in and documenting it in the GPS system is a great way to support your effort as you move into the annual review summary phase of GPS. 

Check-In process:

Annual Review

Review your performance and celebrate your successes

The annual review phase offers the opportunity to summarize your achievements against your goals, responsibilities and competencies, celebrate your successes and chart a tangible path forward based on accountability and growth.
