There is a reason why Michael Armstrong's HR books represent a gold standard: they are both thorough and academically rigorous but benefit from real world experience and an informed perspective on practice. This book reflects the latest thinking on performance management but also points out, quite rightly, that the annual appraisal has in itself never been a catch-all solution.

About the previous edition: If you come from the school of thought that believes appraisals should be swapped for something a little more holistic then Armstrong will give you much food for thought.
