Lunch at the Compensation Cafe: Performance Management Myths

Performance management is under fire from all directions, with many demanding that we abandon the process entirely.  Are performance appraisals still relevant in today’s world of work?  And, if so, why do they fail to produce the results they should? 

Join the Compensation Café team and noted performance management expert Dick Grote, President of Grote Consulting and author of the new book How to be Good at Performance Appraisals (Harvard Business Review Press) on Tuesday, October 18, 11:00 to 11:45 Pacific Time,for Episode 4 of our new roundtable series and a caffeinated conversation about this important topic.

You will learn:

• The case for performance management – and honest performance appraisals.
• The truth about some of the common myths that trip us up in performance management, including:
  • the myth of performance predictability,
  • the myth of quantifiability, and
  • the myth of the feedback sandwich.

Feedback sandwich. That's a good way to put it. Never was a fan of feedbacks.
