No, I doubt it. To my mind traditional performance management systems are
a result of that ole "fixed mental model". There are so many problems with
current performance management systems:
conflict of evaluation power role vs. learning/helping role
vague criterion, or rating scales or rankings
appearance of objectivity when none is present
multiple conflicting purposes
..and on...and on...
