I hope with this short article I can broaden your paradigm about what is performance management.  Generally, I find performance management is thought of as the annual performance appraisal cycle and/or those discussions that are had to address some aspect of underperformance or behaviour we consider misguided.  I recently rediscovered the following definition of performance management which I propose is adopted.

“Performance management is creating a workplace that brings out the best in people while generating the highest value for the organisation.”[1]
