A CNN headline screams Nike Air VaporMax Plus All Purple Men's Sports Shoes Australia , "Performance Review May Have Sparked NASA Shooting." In Houston, the local police were trying to determine a motive for why a NASA contractor fatally shot his boss and took another employee hostage before killing himself at the Johnson Space Center. It seems that his boss sent him an email performance review that was critical of his performance. Performance review by email? NASA has said that it will review security procedures. I could not help but add in my mind, "what about performance appraisal procedures?" Shouldn't those be reviewed as well? It seems like a classic case of ignoring the underlying issue. If it proves out that the performance appraisal was the key, tightening security only gives the next person who wants to smuggle in a handgun a slightly greater challenge to overcome--rather than addressing the root cause.

Not too long ago, on an employee survey in which attitudinal responses could be matched up to people's performance appraisal ratings Nike Air Tuned Max 2019 Triple black Men's Running Shoes Australia , we saw that the largest gap between the highest rated performers and the lowest rated performers was "feeling valued by the organization." Receiving a poor performance appraisal did not affect people's intention to stay or leave, their feelings about the appraisal in helping them improve their performance, or a host of other potential actions. The one thing it did affect in this organization was the self-report by poor performers that they did not feel valued. So if the goal of this performance appraisal system was to make a certain group of employees feel less valued by the organization, it was working. If the goal was something else, it was not.

In one manufacturing organization with a union Cheap Nike Shox 2020 Australia , the goal (not officially stated) of the performance appraisal system was simply to document poor performance. 'Write 'em up,' was a commonly used expression--the thinking being that the organization needed to build a case in order to withstand the inevitable challenge from the union should it need to dismiss a person.

Meanwhile, at the Russian News Service, which controls a number of radio broadcast stations in Russia, good news is becoming official policy. The New York Times reported that the managers of the news service had implemented a policy Cheap Air Max2 Light 2020 Australia , in which at least 50 percent of the news coverage on or about Russia must be positive. These apparent Kremlin allies also stated that opposition leaders could not be mentioned, and the United States was to be portrayed as an enemy. "When we talk of death, violence or poverty, for example, this is not positive Cheap Air Max Zero 2020 Australia ," said one editor at the station. "If the stock market is up, that is positive. The weather can also be positive."

I don't know about you, but I truly do believe in the benefits that a free press brings to society; this kind of manipulation makes my skin crawl. In one fell swoop, the Russian News Service has made itself irrelevant and will now begin a decline into oblivion unless it changes course. By putting out 50 percent positive feedback as a "rule," its credibility in accurately portraying the news is zero Cheap Air Max Uptempo 2020 Australia , and the Russians--as they have done before--will turn toward external sources of news to find out what is really happening. Are people so fragile that they can "snap" upon hearing bad performance appraisal news? Are they so easily manipulated that if you feed them a diet of pabulum that they will fall in line with official "policy," actually believing that all is well due to a steady diet of good news? Of course, the reality is likely to be where it usually resides--somewhere in the middle.

I was at a meeting where the facilitator put on a demonstration for the 100 or so people in the room. He told everyone to get up, walk around the room and randomly stop and describe to someone an issue you would like improve upon. We were then required to listen to the advice the person had to offer. Issues were things like "listening more," or "not rushing to judgment" or "making more time for family." The person Cheap Air Max TN 2020 Australia , with whom you described your issue to, was supposed to offer one thing that you could try to improve in that area--preferably something that had worked for them. Two rules: you could not interrupt your advisor, you had to just listen; second, at the end, all you were allowed to say to the person giving you advice was Cheap Air Max Tailwind 2020 Australia , "Thank you." At the end of the 20 to 30 minutes, we all returned to our seats and were probed about what we thought about this performance improvement session. The results were generally very positive. What did we like about this performance appraisal session? It was non-judgmental, it was non-threatening and it was done by someone who did not have an ulterior motive or an axe to grind with you. Therefore, we could listen with an open mind and maybe get something out of the conversation. Maybe.

How many of us could say that our performance appraisal systems, which were designed to help improve the performance of the organization Cheap Air Max Plus 2020 Australia , are non-judgmental, non-threatening and done in a truly unbiased fashion. Anyone? It would seem that the systems we have put in place to improve performance are designed in such a fashion as to make that noble goal fairly unlikely. Can it be that performance appraisal and organizational improvement are incompatible? Anyone care to try building one again?

In my research on employee surveys, I have yet to see a performance appraisal system that is well rated by the employees living under that system. Let's assume that the vast majority of people come to work wanting to do a good job. I think that is a safe assumption by the way. Therefore, if we were to create a positive working culture in the organization through tried and true principles, and people want to do a good job anyway Cheap Air Max Fury 2020 Australia , maybe we should scrap our performance appraisal systems and develop "organizational improvement systems."

Consequently, our conversations will be around what the individual can do to help contribut.
