Performance Management

Performance Management is about arranging the conditions of the workplace for individual, group, unit, division, regional, and corporate success. Management requires that systems, processes and structures are arranged carefully according to the laws of behavior to support the necessary direction, skills, resources, and motivation people need to do a job well, whether at the executive level or at the shop floor, in all types of industries and across all kinds of business drivers of success. Performance Management is about individual managers truly understanding how to ensure the development of skills and provide sufficient training and coaching resources so that each manager can be fairly measured by the success of his or her direct reports.
