Why you should read Competency-Based Performance Reviews

Robin Kessler relays her experience with Fortune 500 performance-appraisal processes and teaches you how to do a better job of evaluating your staff members. She advocates focusing on how they work and the competencies they use to carry out their tasks. Her writing is clear and practical, if a tad repetitive. Each chapter concludes with useful Q&A sections about the main concepts. getAbstract gives Kessler high appraisal points for her information and thoroughness; no doubt those are the goals she set in advance.
