I find myself agreeing with PP proper performance management works very well in both directions empowering employee and manager. I have as yet not seen it done properly in commercial archaeology set ups. Where I have seen it working close up it has actually become a system for managing performance related pay. It proved a great incentive especially where training needs were provided for, there were no excuses for not meeting the grade and a financial penalty if you did not.
