(Although the term “performance” is conventionally used in literature
about management, some people might have an averse reaction to that term. For
them, they might use the term “effectiveness” instead.)
Strongly Suggested Pre-Reading
The traditional approach to performance management, whether applied to an organization,
team or employee, is increasingly criticized as being obsolete, invalid and
unsuitable to today’s organizations and workforce. Consequently, the performance
management process is being transformed by many progressive organizations. This
should be understood by anyone wanting to understand and apply the process.
