“Performance Management” everything managers do that involves leading, managing, assessing and developing their employees. Despite the broad range of activities, most leaders treat performance management as an annual event, much like we do trips to the dentist. These often look like a single, highly circumscribed appraisal with some goal setting thrown in for good measure – completely the wrong strategy. Performance management should be an on-going activity, the very fiber of your organization – just as essential as answering the phones in your office. Performance management is the very foundation of meaningful management. |
