- Summary
- "Many are beginning to deeply question whether appraisal is necessary and consistent with the work culture espoused by progressive organizations. Abolishing Performance Appraisals provides an insightful, well documented look at the flaws of appraisal - including its destructive, unintended effects - and offers practical guidance to organizations that want to move on to more progressive alternatives emphasizing teamwork, empowerment, and spirituality." "Filled with real-life examples, resources, tools, and detailed practical advice, Abolishing Performance Appraisals is an entirely fresh and radically different view of performance appraisal and its functions that will help people start over and discover new and more effective approaches."--Jacket
