Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. It’s a cookie-cutter, fear-based, top-down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations. It’s never been shown to motivate anyone to do anything but try to avoid it, but nobody feels like they have any alternative. Tamra Chandler has one—and it works. Actually, Chandler doesn't offer a single alternative—she offers an infinite number of them. Each organization that uses her Performance Management Reboot is able to develop its own unique version since it doesn’t make a lot of sense for organizations with different cultures, in different industries and sectors, to do things exactly the same way. Grounded in the latest scientific findings about motivation, it’s a transparent, employee-driven process that values collaboration over competition and rewards people for acquiring new skills and increasing their contribution instead of hitting arbitrary benchmarks. Chandler lays out the general principles and then walks you through each step in creating a performance management process that employees will actually embrace rather than avoid and that will help you meet the three objectives of great performance management: developing your people, rewarding them equitably, and driving your organization’s performance. It’s the first comprehensive, step-by-step guide to creating a performance management solution that’s tailored to your organization’s needs and goals and that places the emphasis squarely on your greatest asset: your people. Review: Validation and explanation for why you've always hated your performance management program! - For anyone who has recognized the challenges of existing performance management programs, this book is for you! Chandler clearly outlines all the reasons that traditional performance management practices actually do the opposite of what they set out to do - increase performance. Then she lays out a detailed plan of how to create a system that works for your unique organization. The key of this plan? Involve the people - not just the HR team, not just the Executives, but a cross-section of teams and departments who will represent the entire organization and bring a variety of perspectives to a creative solution that will get the outcomes you desire. Throughout the chapters, Chandler shares her years of experience which led her this recognition of the need to drastically change how organizations approach performance management. She backs up her experience with extensive research on change, human behavior and organizational development. She's also incredibly honest -- this work is hard, you are dealing with people and massive change -- however she provides insights, a toolbox, and even an online community to learn and find support from others working on this change! Review: Let the Revolution Begin! - I have been in HR & Operations for over 25 years, on 3 continents and 5 different countries, and I can tell you I found myself nodding my head in agreement so many times while reading this book, that I started to feel like a bobble-head. Ms. Chandler has written a book that not only will resonate with HR professionals, but anyone who has ever received, written/delivered and/or tracked the dreaded annual performance review throughout their career. She clearly identifies the issues and challenges, and, what is more important, provides a clear road map to a better place. As a bonus, this book is well researched, written in clear practical style, and delivers more than a few chuckles. What more can I say, except read this book and . .

Prescriptions and suggestions for solving the problems are less so. Still worthwhile but you may want to skim the later parts. ## Frequently Bought Together - How Performance Management Is Killing Performance—and What to Do About It - The Coaching Manager: Developing Top Talent in Business - Feedback Toolkit: 16 Tools for Better Communication in the Workplace, Second Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/26075456-how-performance-management-is-killing-performance-and-what-to-do](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/26075456-how-performance-management-is-killing-performance-and-what-to-do) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
