I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tamra Chandler, CEO of Peoplefirm when we were at Arthur Andersen. She’s an inspiring woman and leader. To this day she continues to be a mentor, colleague, and dear friend in my life. I was thrilled to see she has written her book: How Performance Management Is Killing Performance – and What to Do About It!
The inside cover quote says it best:
“Most people associate performance management with the annual review, dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. It’s a cookie cutter, fear-based top-down approach that has never motivated anyone to do anything but try to avoid it. It endures because nobody thinks there’s any alternative. But Tamra Chandler has one – and it works.”
She did that for me at Arthur Andersen, and she has made a career of doing just that for both her company Peoplefirm and their clients.
