about management, some people might have an adverse reaction to that term. For
them, they might use the term “effectiveness” instead.)
Strongly Suggested Pre-Reading
The traditional approach to performance management, whether applied to an organization,
team, or employee, is increasingly criticized as being obsolete, invalid, and

management process is being transformed by many progressive organizations. This
should be understood by anyone wanting to understand and apply the process.
