Most organizational leaders are locked into conducting annual or
bi-annual performance reviews with their staff although they know
the system is not working. Performance reviews are costly, time
consuming, and often a one-way experience without follow up.
Companies need an entirely new approach to performance management.
The End of the Performance Review is a thoroughly tested,
distinctive alternative that draws on well established principles
of organizational behavior. Based around Tim Baker's unique "5
Conversations," each lasting ten minutes, the reader is offered a
new model for performance management that better reflects the
changing needs of both sides of the employment relationship. With a
timely focus on fostering innovation, the book is practical and
easy to use--featuring case studies, interviews, and useful
templates.

This is a richly illustrated monograph revealing William T. Baker's
masterful detailing and superior craftsmanship of magnificent
family residences. Showcasing 14 classically inspired homes of
grace and beauty, each property reflects an astute comprehension of
life as it is lived in the 21st century, with deliberate nods to
historical aesthetics that coexist harmoniously with the
architectural language of natural light, passive design themes,
voluminous space, and fabulous comfort. Inspired by the bounty of
classical architecture found in the grand homes of the southern
United States, particularly the state of Georgia, the hallmarks of
William T. Baker's architecture are extraordinary attention to
details of craftsmanship and construction, and a keen eye for scale
and proportion. His work clearly reflects the aspirations of the
American Dream. This beautifully photographed monograph of William
T. Baker's work is the third volume in IMAGES' successful
Classicist series, and showcases the exquisitely designed homes of
the modern family, who entrusted Baker with their dreams and
visions, and whose trust has been rewarded with classically
inspired homes of grace and beauty. His work contributes greatly to
some of the most aesthetically pleasing residences being built in
the United States today.
