Performance Management & Career Development for Managers
Too often performance management has become a process and does not help the employee develop in their career. Relationship needs to be at the heart of the performance management conversation, if it is absent, the conversation may actually fracture the relationship rather than nurture it.

Rating another individual’s performance is approximately a 39% reflection of the individual being rated and a 61% reflection of the individual doing the rating (Buckingham, 2017, Global Leadership Summit).
