The Eleventh Element of Great Managing

Why the compulsory performance evaluation is not enough

by Rodd Wagner and James K. Harter
Adapted from 12: The Elements of Great Managing (Gallup Press, December 2006)
This element is measured by the statement “In the last six months, someone at work has talked to me about my progress.” Some people think a performance review will suffice. But it’s not nearly enough, write the authors of 12: The Elements of Great Managing.
James K. Harter, Ph.D., is Chief Scientist Workplace Management and Well-Being for Gallup. He is coauthor of the New York Times bestseller 12: The Elements of Great Managing (Gallup Press, December 2006).
