Valerie and Hatchette Book Group are sponsoring a giveaway of Get Rid of Performance Review!: How Companies Can Stop Intimidating, Start Managing -- and Focus on What Really Matters by Samuel A. Culbert and Lawrence Rout!
About the Book:
The performance review. It is one of the most insidious, most damaging, and yet most ubiquitous of corporate activities. We all hate it. And yet nobody does anything about it. Until now... Straight-talking Sam Culbert, management guru and UCLA professor, minces no words as he puts managers on notice that -- with the performance review as their weapon of choice -- they have built a corporate culture based on intimidation and fear. Teaming up with Wall Street Journal Senior Editor Lawrence Rout, he shows us why performance reviews are bogus and how they undermine both creativity and productivity.

Performance Reviews are so prevalent in companies today. I would love to read the author's views which are the exact antithesis of the trend.
