Armstrong on Reinventing Performance Management presents a holistic approach to performance management, drawing on Michael Armstrong's vast research and experience. Most organizations have performance management processes in one form or another, but these are often based on formal annual reviews, forced rankings and directly linked to pay decisions. These traditional approaches are often at the expense of ongoing, continuous feedback and focus on looking back at what has or has not been achieved rather than looking forward.

Companies need to grow, innovate, and adapt to changing needs. But stressed-out employees rarely go the extra mile, chaos rarely produces agility or speed, and it’s hard innovate or grow while bleeding talent to turnover and quiet quitting. This is how change stymies the very progress that it seeks. Drawing on decades spent leading HR operations at Deloitte and Cisco, Ashley Goodall explores the essential nature of human performance and offers a radical new alternative to the constant turbulence that defines corporate life.

Every organization has the same problems. Turnover. Silos. Communication breakdowns. Disengaged employees. Managers who can't seem to lead. And every organization reaches for the same solutions—engagement surveys, more training, culture initiatives, policy rewrites. The results rarely last. The problems plaguing your organization are predictable outputs of environmental factors that can be identified, mapped, and changed. Somewhere in your organization right now, talented, high performing people are updating their resumes.
