Recommendation

Better performance management awaits, says HR consultant M. Tamra Chandler, who shows the way in this pleasure-to-read guidebook. She argues that performance management should focus on people – executives, supervisors and workers – and not just on processes. Her prose is clear, personal and funny, making this one of the best – and best-written – current HR books. Someone new to performance management could read Chandler’s thoughts and engage instantly, and seasoned veterans will get enough charts, graphs, real-world examples and online tools to satisfy their inner wonks. getAbstract recommends this guide as a valuable tool for any manager or HR professional. You’ll use it often.

Take-Aways

  • Most companies use outdated, ineffective performance management (PM) processes.
  • Traditional PM has “eight fatal flaws,” like being arbitrary and focusing on failure, that compromise its ability to develop employees and help your company.
  • “Rebooting” your PM process requires eight cultural “shifts,” such as adding accessibility, abandoning uniformity and empowering workers.

    One if the best written and summarized.

    It is dear to my heart that how every company hassles to the PM then splashed away from it because of no reason articulated in this book and summary. Thanks!
