I would like your feedback on the term ‘performance management’. The processes that many use are outdated, as well as the term in my opinion. As context, performance management is defined as how leaders help people do their best work, stay aligned, and grow—while ensuring the organization gets the results it needs. It’s a continuous process, not just once a year, and includes feedback, coaching, goal setting, corrective action, accountability, and performance reviews (or whatever you choose to call them). My thoughts on terms are Performance Enablement and People Success System. I need to land on a new term, as one of the solutions I offer is ‘Performance Management Redesign.’ What would you name it?
