Measuring Progress in a Performance Management Program

The goal of a performance management program is to create continuous positive change. The idea is that everyone has strengths and growth areas, and that every role has ideal performance metrics.

We make mistakes, and hopefully we recognize them (or get feedback to help us see what we should have done). In other words we learn in fits and starts, two steps forward, one step back.
