Samuel Culbert’s view on Performance Reviews in the Wall Street Journal

Samuel Culbert is a noted business consultant, author and professor of management at the UCLA Anderson School of Management in Los Angeles and he recently wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal, “Get Rid of the Performance Review!”. After reading his article, I must say that I agree with him on how the standard annual performance review system that most companies used today is very flawed. My only wish is that he would actually provide a better solution or a more thought out solution to the problem.

I highly recommend you read his article, Get Rid of the Performance Review. Let me know your thoughts.

  2. I published a book in 2000 entitled “Abolishing Performance Appraisals: Why the Backfire and What to do Instead”. It is right on track with the problems you described in your article and offers alternatives to the important functions appraisals are attempting to address. Discussed on CNN and written about nationally in many papers and journals, it is a good resource for anyone who relates to what you are describing, but searching for effective answers.
