The Ugly Truth About Performance Management #11

The article critiques traditional performance management systems, citing a Gallup poll showing that 98% of CHROs believe their systems are ineffective. It argues that high-performing companies focus on continuous performance management integrated into daily work, developing top talent rather than simply weeding out low performers. Conversely, average companies rely on ineffective annual appraisals, reflecting their limited focus and resources. The author contrasts these approaches, emphasizing the importance of hiring and developing high-potential individuals for sustained success. A commenter highlights similar themes from the book "Nine Lies About Work," focusing on the unreliability of peer evaluations.
