C12 - Overview
Lead the work of teams and individuals to achieve their objectives (MCI)

This unit is about making best use of your team and its members so that they can achieve their objectives. It covers planning and assessing work, and providing feedback to team members.
This unit is for you if you are a manager or supervisor with

  • a tightly defined area of responsibility
  • some limited opportunity for taking decisions and managing budges
  • responsibility for achieving specific results by using resources effectively and
  • responsibility for allocating work to team members, colleagues or contractors.

To achieve your unit certificate, you must show that you can 

C12.1 Plan the work of teams and individuals
C12.2 Assess the work of teams and individuals
C12.3 Provide feedback to teams and individuals on their work

In order to plan the work of teams and individuals, you need to decide with your team how to plan work to achieve their objectives, taking into account team members' abilities and development needs. You need to make clear what is expected of people, check their understanding and update your plans in the light of progress and changes.

In order to assess the work of teams and individuals, you need to make it clear why you are assessing their work and get them to assess their own work wherever possible. You need to obtain sufficient, reliable information to be able to assess their work against clear, agreed criteria.

In order to provide feedback to teams and individuals on their work, you need to provide regular feedback based on objective assessments of their work. Your feedback should acknowledge achievements and provide constructive suggestions and encouragement for improving work. At all times you need to show respect for confidentiality and for the individuals concerned, and give them the chance to respond to the feedback and make their own suggestions about how they could improve their work in the future.
