BSP 022: Stop the Leadership Malpractice by Wally Hauck

In his book, Stop the Leadership Malpractice: How to Replace the
Typical Performance Appraisal best-selling author Wally Hauck talks
about why the typical performance appraisal needs to be replaced.
He discusses how the current system takes away from the ability to
take advantage of a company’s most important asset, its people.
These appraisals also erode the ability to trust the organization,
which in turn, reduces creativity and innovations. Hauck says that
“more than 50% of HR managers say appraisals aren’t working” yet
companies still perform these evaluations that put both bosses and
employees in uncomfortable positions. Instead, Hauck believes the
entire process needs to be overhauled and cites the following
examples on how to do just that: o Shift the process from one of
judgment to a partnership o Eliminate the “grading” system o Take
the “pay conversation” out of the equation o Ask questions that
enable both parties to look at the quality of the interaction as it
changes the dynamic and structure of the appraisal It is clear the
“old way” of doing things is going out the window. Learn more about
