Performance management approaches have evolved. Originally, they were very top-down, control-based approaches. Today’s approaches have changed dramatically. Control is dead, and in its place is what I call engaged collaboration. That requires clarity of purpose, moving to performance agreements, and wise use of today’s technologies. In this fast-moving program, Don will share strategies and tools for picking up your performance management game!
