Features: Performance management is the core of human resource management, and it is the core means of executing corporate strategy and achieving corporate goals! For a company to succeed, it must not only achieve the expected daily goals but also determine a suitable future direction, making continuous adjustments to this direction when necessary, and mobilizing all employees to strive in this direction tirelessly, even at great cost, and must be motivated to do so. — Harvard Business School Professor, Leadership guru John Kotter Most managers have the intellectual capacity to learn what they need to know, but they fail to achieve success because they lack "what else is important," especially the ability to develop and motivate the performance of their subordinates. — Harvard Business School Professor Matthew Oley "Harvard EMBA Decision Analysis and Classic Cases" series compiles the best works published in the Harvard Business Review since the 1980s, as well as classic decisions that are frequently cited. This book is an excellent work of enterprise performance management that closely combines theory and practice. It not only analyzes the core work of performance management from every aspect, such as performance management and goal assessment, performance planning, organization, performance implementation and management, performance communication and coordination, and improvement, but also specially introduces two performance management tools: 360-degree performance appraisal and balanced scorecard. Through the explanation and analysis of 50 Harvard performance management case studies, it presents the core process of performance management from a systematic perspective.
