Performance Potential Grids - What are they?
 

PP Grid


One of the areas of Talent Management that organizations focus on is how to select which executives and managers should utilize scarce developmental dollars and assignments.  Many of our clients utilize the concept of the Performance/Potential Grid (often called a 9-Box).  Over the next several issues of the newsletter, we will discuss what it is, how to create one, how it is used and the pros and cons for its use.  To view the entire article, click here.
  Driving High Performance through Goal Setting
 

Performance rating chart

Do these performance rating distributions look familiar? 

The reasons behind them are  probably familiar to you as well:

  •     Managers are uncomfortable  giving candid feedback so they assign lenient,
        inflated ratings instead.
  •     Performance goals are set at a 'low bar' - too little effort and talent is required
        for their achievement. 

Ratings like these send the wrong message if they don't reflect  business realities and significantly  differentiate between high performers and lower achievers. To view the entire article, click here.
