Article of the Week

“For decades, under the theory of “you get more of what you measure”, quantifiable metrics have been employed to track how well an individual is achieving stated goals, which were generally tied to the organizational objectives. These historical systems, however, consume management and employee time, often without providing a commensurate payoff. In fact, they can undermine performance as people focus on their ratings, over personal growth and organizational mission.”

“What is needed is a new definition of being smart, one that promotes higher levels of human thinking and emotional engagement.

They require less daily and direct supervision from managers as they develop their skills and strive to reach their full potential.”
