Media Reviews
If you come from the school of thought that believes appraisals should be swapped for something a little more holistic, then Armstrong will give you much food for thought... There's enough here to keep the most pernickety HR manager happy. Management Today The timing of this book is perfect, as the shift from appraisal schemes to performance management is hitting its stride. Personnel Today It should be required reading for all line managers who propose that performance management is solely the job of the HR department, and for all those HR 'dinosaurs' who say the same.
