Learn a model that can help the best perform better, the good improve, and that helps get poor performers on the right track. The key to successful performance management is knowing what to do when things do not go as planned. Most managers know how to manage staff performance but they are less knowledgeable about dealing with personnel problems, the abuse of leaves, excuses, medical issues, neglect, unintentional mistakes, and the wide assortment of issues that come about in the regular course of work.
