My response was in the context of "what your team members perceive" to be performance. My response was quite simply: "you get what you measure." Your team will respond to your perception by focusing on improving in areas that you perceive to be markers of good performance.
- foldr 4y agoThat certainly can happen. However, it depends on at least the following assumptions: * Your perception of your employees' performance is consistent and predictable over time. Not all bosses evaluate based on consistent and predictable criteria. * Your perception isn't significantly distorted by false beliefs about who has done (or not done) what. (Needless to say, that's generic 'you', not you specifically.) If you want, you can say "I hereby define 'good performance' to be any performance that I, the boss, think is good" – but that's just a semantic game.
- scott_w 4y agoNone of that is relevant to my point. "I hereby define 'good performance' to be any performance that I, the boss, think is good" At its most basic level, that's _exactly_ what we as leadership do. All you're now saying is "some bosses suck." Well... yes, news at 11.
