“A valuable resource for students, faculty and practitioners interested in the practice of effective performance management.” (*)
Designed as a primary text for courses on Performance Appraisal or Performance Management, this comprehensive book provides an engaging examination of the entire process of performance management. It balances concepts with practical skill-based exercises, and gives readers both an understanding of performance management and the ability to manage performance.
The book is organized around a straightforward model of performance management that includes defining performance, diagnosis, evaluation, feedback, and improving performance. For this edition each chapter now begins with an opening real-life vignette that demonstrates the relevance of that chapter's content. More than 80 new Skill-Builder exercises are included, and Skill-Builders are now identified as either basic or advanced to help instructors assign material. A new chapter considers the organizational context in which performance management takes place, and the coverage of factors for improving performance has been expanded.
An online Instructor's Manual is available to adopters, and free PPTs are available through the author's website at www.effectiveperformancemanagement.com.
