"No other talent process has been the subject of such great debate and emotion as performance management (PM). For decades, different strategies have been tried to improve PM processes, yielding an endless cycle of reform to capture the next "Flavor of the Day" PM trend. The past five years, however, have brought novel thinking that is different than past trends. Companies are reducing their formal processes, driving performance-based cultures, and embedding effective PM behavior into daily work rather than relying on annual reviews to drive these. Through case studies provided from leading organizations, this book illustrates the range of PM processes that companies are using today. These show a shift away from adopting someone else's best practice and instead, companies are designing bespoke PM processes that fit their specific strategy, climate, and needs. Leading PM thought leaders offer their views about the state of PM today, what we've learned and where we need to focus future efforts, including provocative new research that shows what matters most in driving high performance. This book is as a call to action for talent management professionals to go beyond traditional best practice and provide thought leadership in designing PM processes and systems that will enhance both individual and organizational performance"--

The video enhanced executive edition of How Performance Management is Killing Performance – and What to Do About It was created with the busy leader in mind. Offering targeted information and insight, and with over 26 minutes of videos and animations throughout, Rethinking Performance Management – A Leader's Guide has been adapted from the original edition to focus on only the points that you, as a leader of an organization, need to know. This means it's much shorter than the original with more of a focus on the big picture theory and less on the step-by-step. Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. In this short guide, author Tamra Chandler lays out the key points of creating a performance management process that is not only tailored to your organization's needs and goals, but that employees will actually embrace. Each of the six condensed chapters include short animations or video featuring Tamra herself to sum up the major takeaways for leaders. For those of us who need to be on the cutting edge of this emerging subject, but don't have as much time as we'd like, Rethinking Performance Management – A Leader's Guide offers the perfect framework to provide insight to the benefits of evolving performance management systems, a process which must be led, championed by the leaders in the organization.

This book provides managers, leaders and practitioners with a dynamic framework that links several variables associated with performance management which can be applied across organizations and industries worldwide. Based on empirical evidence and experiences, this book provides a critical understanding of the interrelationship of organizational culture with performance management process (PMP) planning and implementation. The elements of the framework are approached from a macro-level-view and are balanced with conciseness and realism based on applied success studies, making this book a valuable educational, training and development resource tool for leaders and managers at all levels. The topic of performance in organizations is like the weather—everyone likes to talk about it, but few understand what is truly happening—or understand why? Individuals and organizations are no different when it comes to performance, regardless of performance level of focus: individual, team, unit, or organization-wide. Teams and organizations often miss opportunities to not only improve performance, but also leverage and sustain high performance. Organizational performance, organizational culture and organizational success are interrelated and should reinforce one another. This can be achieved through an effective performance management process (PMP) that lives, functions and thrives at multiple levels within institutions. This book will help organizations and institutions achieve performance management success by identifying comment elements, along with some patterned variation, that are applicable to a successful PMP. Featuring hands-on resource reference tools for immediate use and application, this book is useful for leaders, managers, scholars, students and policy makers in management, leadership, and organizational culture.
