Not many people except those who think, yeah, the alternative is death.

Any time you create a program, it’s necessary to measure the results. Even the incredibly informal “Let’s do it and see what happens.” approach considers evaluation. But the measurement and evaluation portion of any program needs to be well thought out. Measure the wrong thing and the program can look like a failure (when it’s not) or vice versa. I’ve always been a fan of the Kirkpatrick model.

They ask one supervisor and if they didn’t get the answers they were looking for, they’d ask another supervisor.

The workplace needs continuous feedback more than ever. According to Gallup, only 17 percent of millennials receive meaningful feedback and 19 percent receive feedback on a routine basis. One reason such a small percentage of employees receive feedback is the perception that performance management is a time-consuming process.

In the process of writing Good to Great, Jim Collins’ team found that “great” companies have one thing in common: leaders who mentor others.
