The Problem With Performance Reviews

Results are in, and it turns out everyone hates performance reviews. Who could have seen that coming? Sure, we all know by now that everyone hates performance reviews. Most people hate giving them, and overwhelmingly employees hate to get them. But surprisingly, that’s not the problem with them: the problem with performance reviews is that they are not useful. They don’t tell us anything about the employee, they don’t help the employees get better, and they certainly aren’t giving us the correct information we need to hire, fire, train, and promote our people. ___ Marcus is the author of two of the best-selling business books of all time, has two of the most circulated, industry changing cover articles on Harvard Business Review, and has been the subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, Fortune, Fast Company, The Today Show, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
