Reviews
"Performance Management provides a cogent and compelling narrative about the purpose, value and practical implementation of the essential components needed to create a high performance culture. It should be read by anyone who aspires to deliver outstanding results by aligning business goals with the full potential of the organization to achieve them" * Steve Gatfield, former CEO, Lowe Worldwide and EVP, Interpublic Group (about a previous edition) *
"Linda Ashdown's book comprises a very useful addition to the performance management literature. It places performance management in context, and both the current examples and historical backdrop aid understanding. The book is clearly written, unpacks some complex concepts and issues, and will be accessible to a diverse readership. The in-chapter exercises, including case studies and diagnostic questionnaires, should help to bring out practical applications of the subject area via discussion and independent study" * Dr Ray French, Professor in Organizational Behavior, Portsmouth Business School (about a previous edition) *
