Myth: Performance is the sole responsibility
of management.
Fact: The most successful individuals take responsibility for
their own growth and manage their own performance. After
all, most people no longer work for one company or one
department for their entire lives. Individuals are usually the
only ones with intimate understanding of their career goals,
progress, and learning. It makes sense that people should be
accountable for their performance.
That said, often people can't see themselves objectively. Managers help by providing direction
and feedback throughout the year. At the same time, people receive performance feedback from
customers, peers, and partners. The most successful performance management systems involve and
take into account all perspectives: those from managers, performers, customers, peers, and partners.
