What is GOOD performance?
• More than just Good activities, Good
Intentions, and Results
• Working hard and staying busy are not
necessarily high performance
• Attending training sessions and studying
hard does not necessarily lead to good
performance
• Strong commitment may not lead to good
performance
• Even accomplishing some goals may not be
high performance
Performance Management
Performance Management
begins with a look at goals
and strategies of the
organization
Organizational Alignment
All efforts must be
aligned with overall
goals and strategies of
the organization
Performance Management & Transformation Process

Strategies should be
defined and clearly
understood by everyone
• How do all tasks
contribute to overall plans
for the organization?
Critical Incidents

behaviors
Positive
Negative
• Written notation regarding
behavior is made and placed in
each employee’s file
Critical Incidents
• Each observation is
discussed with the
employee at the time of
occurrence
• A portfolio of observed
events is collected over
time
Management by Objective
A strategic management model that aims
to improve the performance of an
organization by clearly defining objectives
that are agreed to by both management
and employees. According to the theory,
having a say in goal setting and action
plans encourages participation and
commitment among employees, as well as
aligning objectives across the
organization.
Principals of Management By Objective
• Cascading of organizational
goals and objectives
• Specific objectives for each
member
• Participative decision making
• Explicit time period
• Performance Evaluation and
Feed back
Points to Remember in Management By Objective
• Is the objective appropriate for the business at this
time?
• Does it take the organization in the direction it want
to go?
• Does it support the overall mission of the business?
• Is it compatible and complimentary with the other
objective?
• Is it acceptable and understandable to the majority
who will be charged with implementing it?
• Is it affordable for the organization?
• Is it measureable and achievable?
• Is it ambitious enough to be challenging?
Hierarchy of Objectives
•Vision
•Mission
•Goals
•Objectives
•Policies
•Procedures
Results based Appraisal
• Management by Objective

used
• Focuses on measureable
results of mutually agreed
upon goals for a work cycle
Factors to consider in Appraisal process
• Cost

administrative decisions
• Validity
Who Appraises
• Supervisor
• Peers
• Subordinates

3 Types of Appraisal Interviews

Performance Measures
• Objective Measures – Hard Criteria
$ Sales
Units Produced
Error Rate
Personal Data
Absence Rate
Turnover Tardiness
• Weaknesses
 Performance modified by Situation – Opportunity Bias
 System Responsible for 96% of Variance – Person 4%
(Deming)
 Objective measured do not apply to all jobs
(Dr. Diana Stone)
Performance Measures
• Errors and Biases
 Halo Error - Is a mistake or bias that
can occur in evaluating an individual's
performance where they are consistently
rated based on the evaluator's overall
impression, rather than on their actual
performance in various categories
 Central Tendency
 Leniency (Positive and Negative)
Types of Performance Rating Scale used
• Number of levels: 3, 4, 5 or 6
• Rating labels:
 Behavioral Frequency e.g. Always,
Usually, Frequently, Sometimes, and
Rarely
 Evaluation: e.g. Distinguished, Superior,
Competent, Fair, & Marginal
 Performance against standard e.g.
Exceeds, Meets, and Do not meet

• “ I’d rather kick bricks with my bare feet
than do appraisals.” (Manager at digital

Pratt and Whitney, Blockbuster, IBM,
Albany Intern

performance
• Distinguishes effective
and ineffective
performance
• Fair and acceptable
Performance Standards

to be done?
• How well should it be
done?
Progressive Disciplinary Systems
• Counsel employee about
performance problem
• Verbal warning
• Written warning
• Disciplinary lay off (Short
Term)
• Discharge
Progressive Disciplinary System
Reasons to avoid discharge
• Unfair labor practice (Legal and
Contractual Restrictions)
• Company Payments Towards
Unemployment & Severance Pay
• Strikes
• Court Action – Back pay award
• Investment in Human Resources
Problems with Appraisals
• 1/3 claim that appraisals are rated
unfairly.
• According to Deming: “Appraisals are
deadly disease in organization.”
• Disregards existence of system
• Erroneously attributes variation in
performance to individuals
• Undermine team work and improvement
• Focus on short term end product
Points to consider during Appraisal
• Give Feed back daily
• Encourage participants
• Judge performance NOT
personality
• Be specific - Provide critical
incidents
• Set mutual goals
Last words
“To win in the
marketplace you
must first win in
the workplace.”
Douglas Conant
