The End of Performance Appraisal

The book explores the effectiveness of annual performance appraisals, asserting they may still be useful in hierarchical settings but largely ineffective in agile environments. It critiques this long-standing management tool, highlighting its potential to cause more harm than benefit, particularly as organizations seek greater agility. The author presents a compelling case for abandoning traditional appraisals, offering practical alternatives that better align with modern workplace dynamics and the evolving needs of companies.
