4. Just Talk to Them: Keys to
Making Performance
Management Work
Author
Brian J. Ruggeberg
Rather than follow the growing trend of abolishing performance
management processes, this panel focused on the most valuable and
impactful elements of performance management and how to enhance
them. Panelists highlighted the critical role of the performance feedback
discussion and a number of innovative ways to strengthen/improve it.
