This book demonstrates how managers can be more effective in gathering and processing performance information about subordinates, making ratings on performance appraisals and multisource feedback surveys, and feeding back this information in a way that is nonthreatening and leads to productive changes in behavior. It also shows how employees can gather, accept, and use meaningful performance information from appraisals, surveys, and informal discussions to change their own behavior. In doing so, the volume suggests how human resource practitioners and training professionals can help managers g

Praise for The Power of Feedback "Some books are worthy of being recommended simply because of their subject matter. . . . There is no greater force to improve the quality of human relationships or improve the way organizations function than to multiply the amount and improve the quality of feedback." "Other books are worthy of being recommended . . . when an author takes an otherwise abstract, obtuse subject and turns it into an actionable, practical set of things to do. Joe Folkman has accomplished that task . . . helping individuals and organizations to develop feedback-ri

Lack of feedback and coaching to aid development is the third most cited reason for resignations at work. ’Netgeners’ with their reliance on social networking and instant messaging have added even greater impetus to the need for performance feedback. Feedback is integral to learning: it helps to develop skills, knowledge and confidence, and reinforces desired behaviors. It can reassure and thus reduce anxiety; and it can help people see the ’bigger picture’, leading to greater alignment with organizational goals and needs. "The Feedback Pocketbook" encourages managers (

Feedback Control, First Edition updates classical control theory by integrating modern optimal and robust control theory using both classical and modern computational tools. Although there are many books on this subject, authors Li Qiu and Kemin Zhou believe that the development of modern optimal and robust control theory in the last thirty years calls for a significant change in the teaching of classical control. The authors still include a significant portion of the well-known classical control material in our work, but with consideration of recent developments and the available modern comp
