About this title

Synopsis

There are three universal truths about traditional performance management: they are widely used, universally despised, and are known to be ineffective.

Performance Conversations offers a new model rooted in proven management science and tailored to today's workplace. Moving beyond ad hoc alternatives, this approach provides a unified framework for enhancing employee performance through continuous, manager-led practices. Like sliding the right key in a lock, performance conversations can open the door to unlimited possibilities. Dozens of ready-to-use templates and tools make the system practical, accessible, and easy to implement. Designed with today's workforce in mind, it aligns with the expectations of millennial and remote employees alike.

Perfect for HR leaders and team managers, this guide delivers a smart, actionable solution for improving performance without the frustration of traditional reviews.
