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.
