Imagine There’s No Performance Reviews, It’s Easy If You Try
Posted on Thursday, April 9, 2009 by Frank RocheImagine Reimagined (apologies to John Lennon and anyone who’s had a bad performance review)
Image there’s no performance reviews
It’s easy if you try
No direct reports below us
Above us not a guy
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no siloes
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to call a meeting for
And no policies too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no self evals
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or sandbagging
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

Frank, too funny. I think I told you about my friend who owned a small business and asked me if he should do performance reviews and I emphatically told him, “Hell, no!” He went ahead anyway and called me a year later screaming for help because he was witnessing employee relations problems that he never had before – all stemming from his performance appraisals.

@Ron…opps, be careful what you wish for comes true for your friend.
