Sudden falls in performance are nearly always due to a change in personal circumstances – not necessarily a change perceived as bad, like bereavement. Any change can have an effect as the individual diverts energy and attention to deal with it.
The training activity begins with a short discussion in which the participants mention times when their own performance declined. This leads them to identify what caused this. Participants then discuss in small groups how sudden falls in performance might be dealt with and the results of their discussions are codified into an axiom. They then examine a six-step approach to handling sudden falls in performance and divide into groups of four to practice using the steps in a number of scenarios. The training activity closes with a debriefing of the previous role play in which the participants practiced the skills of the six-step process to handle sudden falls in performance.
