Performance Management presents an end-to-end practical model of effective performance management that shows how to develop and implement performance management systems that drive results. It goes beyond prescribing typical best practices – instead focusing on what it really takes to implement performance management effectively. This includes the circumstances and types of jobs where commonly used performance management approaches will not work well. The overall model is based on setting clear performance expectations and objectives, identifying and motivating employee behavior that is critical for effective functioning, and using the system to drive achievement of results, based on cascading goals that translate the organization’s strategy into actionable goals for units, groups, and individuals. The book also provides nuts and bolts guidance for how to develop effective performance measures. Providing both practical advice, tools, and examples, this book translates best practices, ideas, and concepts into concrete and practical development and implementation steps that can be applied in any organization.
