Book excerpt: Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism, delivered to produce better results and help employees develop their skills and boundaries of success. Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Kim Scott Malone has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters. Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of first-hand experience, and distilled clearly to give actionable lessons to the reader, Radical Candor shows how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people both love their work, their colleagues and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates, in detail, why annual performance appraisals might still work in hierarchical environments, but largely fail in agile ones. The annual performance appraisal is one of the world’s most widely used management tools. For many years, it was indeed seen as a pre-requisite for successful leadership and professional management. While most managers and employees have always been sceptical in this respect, those at a strategic level are now also realising it causes more harm than good, and a growing number of leading companies have similarly abolished this approach. One key reason lies in the changing working world, and the quest for greater organisational agility. Companies are moving away from rigid structuring. The arguments are presented objectively but with practical relevance, coherently illustrating the available alternatives for achieving what annual performance appraisals largely have not.

Download or read book Performance Management Transformation written by Elaine D. Pulakos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other business process has endured such great debate as performance management. Viewed as a critical cornerstone for organizational alignment, it is often met with anxiety and confusion by both managers and employees. For over 50 years, strategies such as cascading goals and employee ranking have tried to add value to performance management with little success. But in recent years, new ideas have transformed the field into a less formal process designed to encourage employee behaviors that actually drive performance. Performance Management Transformation takes a practical approach to the current and future state of performance management across the organizational landscape. Case studies from Toyota, Patagonia, Medtronic, GoGo Inflight, and AbbVie, alongside research and commentary by thought leaders in the field, showcase how organizations are taking control and redesigning their performance management processes to address their specific organizational goals, strategies, needs, and preferences.

Download or read book How Performance Management Is Killing Performance And What to Do about It written by M. Tamra Chandler and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. It's a cookie - cutter, fear - based, top - down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations. It's never been shown to motivate anyone to do anything but try to avoid it, but nobody feels like they have any alternative. Tamra Chandler has one - and it works. Actually, Chandler doesn't offer a single alternative - she offers an infinite number of them. Each organization that uses her Performance Management Reboot is able to develop its own unique version since it doesn't make a lot of sense for organizations with different cultures, in different industries and sectors, to do things exactly the same way. Grounded in the latest scientific findings about motivation, it's a transparent, employee - driven process that values collaboration over competition and rewards people for acquiring new skills and increasing their contribution instead of hitting arbitrary benchmarks. Chandler lays out the general principles and then walks you through each step in creating a performance management process that employees will actually embrace rather than avoid and that will help you meet the three objectives of great performance management: developing your people, rewarding them equitably, and driving your organization's performance. It's the first comprehensive, step - by - step guide to creating a performance management solution that's tailored to your organization's needs and goals and that places the emphasis squarely on your greatest asset: your people.

Download or read book Performance Management written by Sorin Dumitrascu and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you say for sure whether your team or employee goals are consistently being met? It's important to know if everyone is working to the standards expected of them. Effective performance management can help boost productivity at all levels of your organization.A systematic approach is important to increase productivity throughout an organization. It's also important to focus on achieving results that contribute to the success of a company. These are two cornerstones of effective performance management.This course begins with an explanation of the nature of performance management and the advantages it provides to organizations that use it. Then the five phases that typically comprise a performance management system will be introduced. Much of the course is an in-depth look at the first phase, planning for performance, and it also covers how to establish performance expectations.During this first phase of the performance management process, you'll establish critical success factors and translate them into key performance indicators. Then you'll develop role profiles to help match people with the right skills to appropriate work - further improving performance.Once you've completed this course, you'll have an understanding of what a performance management system involves and be able to undertake the planning needed for such a system to be effective. This planning is the basis for all the other phases of performance management.Monitoring performance is critically important. It shows you whether you're on track to achieve your goals. And, if you're not, it gives you the chance to change things before it's too late.You can only monitor and measure performance when you have clear and specific targets and standards. You also need to be able to collect the right performance data - and know how to analyze it, use it, and act on it. Finally, you must know how to deal effectively with underperformance, whether that's from employees who aren't performing, can't perform, or won't perform to the standard required.This course introduces a four-step process for monitoring and improving performance. It first explains how to determine and set appropriate targets and standards against which you can measure performance. It then introduces different ways to collect the relevant data, and shows you how to analyze the data and decide on appropriate action to help respond to gaps in performance. Finally, the course presents a technique for dealing with under-performers in a positive and collaborative way.Managing the performance of your employees is an essential part of being a manager. And one of the most important parts of managing performance is taking a strategic, integrated, and cohesive approach to rewarding employees for the value they produce for the organization.Reward management is a process of formulating and implementing policies, strategies, and practices to reward employees fairly, consistently, and in line with their value to the organization. It's important that employees understand that there's a clear connection between how well they perform and how well they're rewarded. An effective reward system organizes and categorizes reward-related processes and activities to ensure that reward management produces value for both employees and employer.Performance appraisal is the part of reward management that involves monitoring, measuring, and assessing how well employees meet the standards and competency requirements of their jobs. Put simply, performance appraisal puts a value on an employee's contribution to the organization.The assessment of an employee's performance is communicated to the employee through the performance appraisal meeting. This is a formal discussion about how well that person has achieved the key outcomes or goals of the job over a period of time. But an appraisal meeting needs to be handled well if it's going to result in a positive and productive experience for both manager and employee.
