Here are five new articles on performance management topics I thought you
might be interested in, plus information on two free performance
management seminars. The articles range from a how-to article on
conducting a goal-setting meeting which I authored, to research on the
effects of "liking" an employee on that employee's performance ratings.
Settings include both public and private sector. I hope you find them
stimulating and useful!

The job performance of 96 police officers was rated using simple graphic
scales or one of two behaviorally oriented rating formats: behaviorally
anchored rating scales (BARS) and behavior observation scales (BOS). The

>Free Performance Management Seminars
There are two upcoming performance management seminars sponsored by one of
my strategic partners, Performaworks. One is in Dallas TX next Tuesday,
February 20th, and the second, where I am presenting, will be in San Mateo
CA on Tuesday February 27th.
Both are free and will address how to align people, strategies and systems
using electronic performance management software. You'll have an
opportunity to hear from a leader in the field and engage in a roundtable
discussion with your peers. These two are part of a series Performaworks
sponsors nationwide. I'm tentatively scheduled to present with them again
on April 19 in Philadelphia for those of you on the East Coast.
To register, either call or email the contact person noted with each
seminar. I look forward to seeing you at the San Mateo session or next
month in Philadelphia!
