When I first came across this small e-booklet, I was extremely
impressed and I know a bunch of people grabbed it when it was
available before. It's back, and I'm telling you that it's an
excellent summary of the basics of performance management AS IT
SHOULD BE DONE. This is time limited so if you are interested, get it
now.

It meshes very well with my books on the topic, but the nice part is
a) it's free and b) It's only about 25 pages, and I think we are all
really busy.

Here's the summary info, and the url to grab your copy. Registration
is required.
