Course Description

Most organizations and employees are dissatisfied with the performance appraisal process, so it remains a curiosity why this methodology continues to exist. Performance appraisals don’t drive careers; they are an incidental effect of other dynamic systems. In essence, appraisals are the paper-shuffling ritual that sanctifies decisions already made.

Major Topics

• Why it’s a legal myth that performance appraisals protect you from litigation, or in court
• Why appraisals instinctively focuses on weaknesses, not strengths
• Why “annual” is far too long to evaluate and provide feedback to knowledge workers
• Examples of effective replacements to the annual performance appraisal:
-- Peter Drucker’s Manager’s Letter
-- After Action Reviews
-- Key Predictive Indicators
• Implementing Peter Drucker’s Orchestra
• A better idea than classifying people as Gen “X,” “Y,” and “Z”
