Managing Performance, Managing People: Understanding and Improving Team Performance

Performance is the key.

As a manager, it is what you are paid for, getting performance from your team by using all the resources at your disposal. Performance management can be applied in any organisation and it is widely acknowledged that performance management is the most effective and practical way to address human resource and productivity issues. This is a practical, jargon free guide for all managers and supervisors which tells how to build individual and team performance by managing better. Managing Performance, Managing People helps managers explain the performance levels of their team and manage the key factors which influence these performance levels. Identifies key performance factors like role clarity, values, preference fit, competence, environment and reward and presents these factors in the form of a unique “performance equation” which simply portrays the interaction of these factors.
