The Performance Management Revolution
Cappelli, Peter; Tavis, AnnaArticle HBS-R1610D-EHated by bosses and subordinates alike, traditional performance appraisals have been abandoned by more than a third of U.S. companies.

That's why many organizations are moving to more-frequent, development-focused conversations between managers and e...Starting at €8.20
