This Tuesday August 18 at 11:00am EST I will be on a webcast panel discussion hosted by CFO.com titled Implementing Performance Management Methodologies – Pitfalls and Speed-bumps.

These messages reveal my frustrations that so many organizations are hesitant or skeptical to adopt and implement performance management methodologies. Their value is so obvious. My main message is the primary obstacle is social – it is about peoples’ natural resistance to change, not wanting to be held accountable, and many others.
I first signaled this frustration in my blog From Nag to Wag – Why Performance Management Now, and I was more direct in my subsequent blog What Do I want my Epitaph and Legacy to Be? Read these blogs and you will detect my growing disappointment that managers and employee teams are being denied the methods, tools, and resulting decision capabilities.
