Extremely important space exists between employee disengagement and the profound influence of the immediate supervisor/manager. Performance Pearls: Information for Improving Workforce Performance, Volume 1 targets that very space with observations, ideas, and information for managing workforce performance more humanly and more effectively.
Performance Pearls was written for supervisors, managers, and leaders who want to do the right thing but aren’t exactly sure how to be a better performance manager. The content is designed to be consumed in small bites because few working managers have large chunks of time to read. Underlying it all is the belief that better managers really do make the world a better place: for the employee, for the family, for the company, and for the community.
Managing workforce performance is a vast ocean of activities which includes employee performance, manager and supervisor efforts to manage that performance, as well as employee and leadership development. These plus more fall under the umbrella of performance management. Performance Pearls examines some of the key processes. The goal of this book is to simplify the concepts, get managers and supervisors to think, and offer ways to improve practices.
