PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance management aims to acknowledge employee achievements， support their personal and professional development， and motivate and empower them to perform their work effectively. Performance management helps employees to develop their understanding， knowledge and skills so that they can contribute to the achievement of the enterprise's goals and gain personal and job satisfaction. It is a vital part of any quality human resource system.
Every enterprise wants and should expect high performance from each employee.The elements of a competency-based performance management system will， if implemented well， enable high performance which will define enterprise and personal success. Using performance management processes， an enterprise can be better placed to meet competitive challenges. This is done by:
●identifying the critical positions
●determining the most important competencies for those positions
●providing the education， training and feedback required by employees
●holding each person accountable for their results
The key to the performance management process is ‘performance appraisal'. Performance appraisal is simply an evaluation of how well an employee performs his or her job compared to a set of predetermined standards. It is a systematic process of feedback on an employee's work performance， and agreement to future training plans， job goals and job aspirations.
To be effective， a performance appraisal needs to have a set of agreed criteria that will be the basis of feedback as well as of setting future goals. Units of competency provide a very effective tool for setting benchmarks or criteria for work performance. The performance criteria within units of competency can be used as measures to assess against in a performance appraisal or review.

HOW TO HANDLE A BAD PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Getting a bad performance review can make you feel angry， unappreciated， defeated， and hopeless. But it's not the end of the world. Remember that the way you respond to this appraisal can make all the difference in the next one. Even if you believe that the review is inaccurate and that your boss is completely wrong， you will benefit by reacting in a mature， adult manner. Here are some suggestions:
Stay calm. Relax. Breathe. Do not overreact and be objective. Especially， do not say things that will likely be regretted later. Besides， the person giving the performance review may or may not be the one who has written the bad review.
WHAT TO DO WHEN RECEIVING A BAD PERFORMANCE REVIEW
It's best to listen attentively. And make comments or remarks only when asked for them. Besides， during the performance review， you will be given the chance to respond and may disagree.
WHAT TO DO AFTER RECEIVING A BAD PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Don't be intimidated by the bad performance review and want to quit the job； instead， learn from it. Also， if the organization allows their employees to make a written statement on their own behalf， do make one. It is important for the worker to show why she does not agree with the bed performance review； for instance， an employee may express their different understanding and， at the same time， a willingness to comply with any constructive suggestions.
WAYS TO IMPROVE A BAD PERFORMANCE REVIEW
A way to improve a bad performance review is to set self-reviews， that is， establish performance standards. Another way to improve a bad review is to learn more about what the manager， supervisor， or boss wants or expects from his/her employees. Learning what it was that caused a bad performance review helps to improve professional growth and encourages as well as motivates the worker to do better in order to receive a good review next time.

On May 27， 1995， our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three， when my husband， Chris， fell from his horse as it jumped over a fence. Chris was paralyzed （瘫痪） from the chest down，{able； unable； suitable} to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse， we entered into a life of disability with lots of unexpected challenges. We went from the “haves” to the “have-nots”. Or so we thought.
Yet what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of sharing difficulties. We came to learn that something{terrible； practical； wonderful}could happen in a disaster. All over the world people cared for Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a medical center in Virginia， about 35，000 pieces of{news； paper； mail}had been received and sorted. As{patients； a family； nurses}， we opened letter after letter. They gave us comfort and became a source of strength for us. We use them to encourage ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with “funny” if we need a laugh， or to the “disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or even in bed living happily and{successfully； bitterly； weakly}. These letters， we realized， had to be shared. And so here we offer one of them to you."

JACK WELCH LEADING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AT GE
When Jack Welch， the Chairman and CEO at General Electric （GE） retired in 2001， he could look back at a very successful career. He became CEO in 1981 at the age of 45. At that time， GE had a very complex organizational structure with considerably bureaucratic rules.
One of his first changes was to initiate a strategy formulation process with the guideline that each of the businesses should be number 1 or 2 in their respective areas. If this was not the case， managers had the options of fixing the problem， selling their particular business， or closing it. In an effort to streamline the organization， Welch removed the sector level and eliminated thousands of salaried and hourly employee positions.
The restructuring was followed by changing the organizational culture and the managerial styles of GE's managers. One such program was the Work-Out（群策群力）.Groups of managers were assembled to share their views openly in three-day sessions. At the beginning of the meetings， the superior presented the challenges for his or her organizational unit. Then the superior had to leave， requesting the groups to find solutions to the problems. Facilitators （会议主持人） helped these discussions. On the last day， the superior was presented with proposed solutions. He or she then had three choices: to accept the proposal， not to accept it， or to collect more information. This process put great pressure on the superior to make decisions.
Another program to improve effectiveness and efficiency was Best Practices. The aim was to learn from other companies how they obtained customer satisfaction， how they related to their suppliers， and in what ways they developed new products. This helped the GE people to focus on the processes in their operations that would improve the company's performance.
Jack Welch was personally involved in developing managers at GE's training center in Crotonville. Leaders， Welch suggested， are not only those who achieve results but also those who share the values of the company.

HOW TO ADAPT TO CHANGE IN THE WORKPLACE
If there's one wordthat captures the essence of what is occurring in the world today， it's “change.” Downsizing， reorganizing， and cutting costs， are now the norm for survival. No industry is exempt. Even the most conservative institutions are undergoing significant change just to survive.
Change management has always been an issue of debate amongst scholars: how can employers create suitable conditions for a successful change process？ And what can employees do to get through it？
Tips for dealing with change in the workplace.
●Make yourself aware that change happens: it happens in personal life， it happens in your professional life. You cannot live in the past， so denying that change could occur only makes things more complicated for you.
●Stay alert in the workplace: know what is happening around you. When you come across clues that hint change is on the way， acknowledge them!
●Maintain open communication channels: Don't lay back and expect things to pass you by smoothly. You need to get acquainted with the occurring changes. Seek more details from your management and peers to form an accurate understanding of the matter. Be transparent and honest about your fears: dealing with the unknown is often resented and daunting. Make the picture as clear as you can.
●Assess yourself: Change is a time when one's confidence about one's skills and capabilities gets shaky. Recognize your strengths and where you could bring them into play. At the same time， stay aware of your developmental areas and work on improving those.
●Don't be stiff: It will make the change process much harder if you are rigid. Be flexible enough to look at the different angles of the change and see where you could apply your “existing” skills and knowledge， and what news skills you need to acquire.
●Stay optimistic: Keep a positive attitude and don't let yourself drown in uncertainty. Involve yourself in the new process； locate yourself properly in the new scenario. Adjust!

CREATE A POSITIVE WORKPLACE CULTURE
In competitive markets， leaders are under increased pressure to maintain a positive work culture. A positive work culture cultivates greater employee satisfaction； greater employee satisfaction contributes to higher performance； higher performance impacts improved client outcomes； improved client outcomes contribute to service excellence.
Positive work cultures are built over time and need constant attention. Such cultures are dependent on leadership vision and values.
An effective leader sets the tone for the team， encourages a positive workplace culture and is able to bring about cultural change.
Workplace culture is made up of the shared attitudes， beliefs， behaviors， values and expectations that influence the way people work in the workplace. It is “the way we do things around here”.
Some cultural aspects are understood by all and are obvious such as turning up for wok on time， while others may be "unwritten rules" that are not so obvious for example how personal issues areresolved with work colleagues.
Many factors that influence whether a workplace has a positive outlook are within the control of people who work in a workplace. There are also factors out of their control， such as slumps in global prices or a change in demand and supply. The company can， however，control how they respond to these factors.
Those companies that do create positive workplace environments develop a reputation in their community as being ‘good to work for' and have a competitive edge. Not only are these companies more able to attract and retain people， they tend to be more stable as they proactively deal with issues and adapt to change.
Teams work best when they are clear about what is expected of them. They are more able to deal with difficult issues if they feel the values of the organization are supportive of them.
For a workplace culture to be positive， the direction and actions of the business must be consistent with the core values of the people in the workplace. The people must trust each other and be able to openly express and exchange ideas.
Working through these steps will help with developing a positive business culture.

This evening I met a friend at a local bar. She brought her laptop{along； around； forward}so she could show me some of her latest digital art designs. As we looked through her artwork， the laptop suddenly started making an unhealthy noise， then the screen twinkled on and off and then cut off{normally； completely； suddenly}. And as we both stared at one another surprisingly， the terrible smell of fried computer circuits appeared.
I grabbed the laptop off the bar to inspect it and the problem instantly arose itself. The bottom of the laptop was completely wet and empty， spilt water glass rested against the side of her purse just behind where the laptop was sitting. While we were chatting and shifting the laptop's 17 inch screen{up and down； back and forth； in and out}， we somehow spilt a glass of water that the waiter had inadvertently （无意地） placed behind the screen， which was out of our view.
When life throws id some troubles like this， it typically doesn't make any sense to us， and our natural emotional reaction might get extremely{upset； excited； surprised}at the top of our lungs. But how does this help our dilemma？ Obviously， it doesn't.
The smartest and hardest thing we can do in these kinds of situations is to be more tempered in our reaction. You'd be much wiser and more disciplined than scream extremely. You should remember that emotional rage only makes matters worse. And please remember that once it happens， that will give us an opportunity to grow stronger.
Every difficult moment in our lives is accompanied by an opportunity for personal growth and{creativity； respect； activity}. But in order to attain this growth and creativity.
We must first learn to control our emotions. We must recognize that difficulties pass like everything in our life."

VISION AND EXECUTION: TWO SIDES OF A SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY
A strategic plan is not the end goal of the strategic planning process – it is the framework for successfully implementing a strategy. Until a strategic plan is put into effect， it has no real value.
There are several keys to successful implementation. First， people directly involved in executing the strategy must be included in the planning process. Strategic planning is no longer a top-down directive. Without the input and feedback of the people responsible for executing on the strategy， a seemingly solid strategy is likely to fall apart when implementation is attempted.
The next key to successful implementation is clearly communicating the strategy to the whole company. The communication should ensure that everyone in the company understands and accepts the strategy as the best path forward， and not simply the leadership's latest idea. Without clear communication， employees lack a sense of ownership and clarity of purpose. When a strategy is not understood or embraced， it usually results in misunderstanding and uneven commitments to implementation.
Another key to the successful execution of a strategic plan is the clear and straightforward description of the plan and its operations. Even the most brilliant strategy faces failure if it cannot be explained clearly and concisely.

HOW DO YOU CREATE A CULTURE OF INNOVATION？
Have you noticed the courage buried in the word encourage？ To create a culture in which innovation flourishes takes courage. Determined innovators are always courageous enough to establish a culture in which innovation is greatly encouraged and rewarded. Here are three ways to do that.
Put innovation at the heart of strategy， and persist it in every message. Think of innovation strategy as a pyramid: big bets at the top， a few projects in development in the middle， and a broad base of continuous improvements， lasting contributions， and early-stage new ideas at the bottom.
Define jobs around innovation. Make it a job prerequisite. Consider 3M’s move to become one of the first companies to tell professionals that they could spend 15 percent of their time on projects of their own choosing. Now many high-tech companies know that they can’t get the best talent without providing this kind of flexibility. And some of those self-selected， self-organized projects might even result in a blockbuster product or line of business. For 3M， it was the Post-it note.
Recognize innovation in every part of the company. To build a culture of creativity and innovation， Gillette developed an innovation fair in which every unit could show off its most promising new concepts. It shows that everyone has a role to play in a culture of innovation.
To go from idea to successful innovation requires a great deal of support and collaboration. When people are surrounded by constant communication and encouragement， they can find the courage to try， fail， redo， and try again.
