Just stop

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

Lisa Haneberg is continuing her thoughts about stopping performance appraisals.

If you have a system that is damaging and everyone hates why do you need a replacement? Why not just stop? Surely stopping the appraisal process would be helpful and a huge relief. I dont think we need an alternative to appraisals to discontinue their use.

Makes sense to me. The people who suggest you can’t get red of it without a replacement seem to fear the unknown. I’d suggest getting rid of it and see what emerges. Of course, this involves letting go of a command-and-control mindset. What a relief that could be.
