Performance Without Appraisals (and what to do instead)

Ben Simpson works with leaders and their teams to create better relationships, improve trust, increase autonomy, ditch bureaucracy. He very much sees that you perform best when you’re happy in your work. And he’s a fierce critic of traditional (command and control) management and prefers a more human-centric way of leading and managing.

He co-founded Organisational Vitality, is the Director and Chairman of the Deming Alliance UK, Co-organiser of Reinventing Work in Bath and is a visiting lecturer on the Bath MBA.

And he has the honour of collaborating with me when we work with clients together!

We geeked out in this episode but also made sure we offered practical advice for rethinking your appraisal system.

We covered:

• Is it true that appraisal processes never work?
• So why do they persist?
• The hidden/unintended consequences of annual appraisals
• If command and control should be a thing of the past – why is Amazon so successful?
• If we ditch the concept of an appraisal system what could you do instead?
• What do we mean by ‘ask better questions’?
• What actions can leaders start taking right now?
