Traditional employee performance reviews are mandated in most companies but they are universally disliked by employees and managers. The reasons are many but they center in their negative worth regarding value to the organization and to the employee. So, why do we continue with this practice? Is there a better alternative? This book proposes the use of an old but misunderstood technique which will solve most problems associated with traditional reviews and will provide a true evaluation of individual and team performance in organizations of any size and for all job levels. The proposed alternative is to discontinue the use of traditional performance reviews in favor of a system of management by objectives (MBO) and reviews by goals and objectives (RBGO). This method ensures fairness in performance judgment and value of the process. The organization, the managers and the employees will benefit from its use.
Are you or can you be the CEO? As an entrepreneur you started a business and lead it through the initial stages and perhaps even longer. As the owner/founder you assumed the position of CEO (or whatever title you chose to use), but carrying the title or the position "by default" does not necessarily mean you are the right person for it. To confirm yourself as CEO you need to understand - really understand - all the implications and demands of the position as well as your desires and qualifications. Delegate to Succeed. Effective delegation is the most powerful activity in management because it enables you to direct your focus and energy to those activities that are the responsibility of the manager/leader and only you can do. Accountability in the workplace. Accountability is the most difficult thing to master for management. Sadly, a majority of managers don't have a clue about how to hold people accountable, and ... to hold themselves accountable. Create a culture of empowerment. Working in a culture of empowerment, employees feel a sense of ownership in their projects and functions with the resulting excitement and motivation to perform. As "owners" of their projects they become accountable for results, doubling the benefits to the organization. Exit Strategy and Successio0n planning: cover the company's needs when you or other key personnel leave the company as well as a plan to cover your own needs for when you leave the business (exit planning). Fundamentals of job interviewing. This book presents strategies to hiring employees and a recommended procedure to select the right candidates. A key part of this procedure is the interview and thus we include suggestions for a productive interview method that would help complete the process.
