The most wonderful time of the year ! ????

Yes, it's that time of year again! Performance Review Time!!! Yippee!......

What - you're not excited about this? We'll you're in pretty good company. It’s generally accepted as an immutable law of the universe that most managers HATE this process and consider it among the least enjoyable tasks they carry out - one step above firing people and two steps above getting sacked. In fact, most of your employees hate it every bit as much as you do. But it doesn’t have to be this way – and it
SHOULDN’T!

I found a really great website which provides tools and podcasts to help managers do a better job of managing people - http://www.manager-tools.com/ .

The two gents who run this show are really quite good at what they do, in that they don’t just pontificate on what you should be doing – they give you specific steps on how to do it.

I won't go into all the details about the site, but suffice to say that I’m the Guerilla HR warfare guy and I think it’s great - If you have gotten anything out of my blog, you will surely get a LOT of Manager Tools.

Before you even think about doing performance reveiws on your team this year, I strongly recommend that you visit
http://www.manager-tools.com/ and hear what these guys have to say. You wont be disappointed.

Next time – taking the pain out of performance management.
