Managing Performance and Potential

This guide sets out the key principles of performance management, with useful tools to help you put them into practice.

Management is about getting things done, but critically, it’s about getting things done through the people you manage. Performance management matters to everyone. It’s one way to help ensure that what we do, we do well. It also helps us to deliver the quality products or services that our customers want. Whatever else you do as a manager, you need to do this well!

Many managers think this is one of the most difficult parts of their job, yet it’s also one of the most important. Don’t just take our word for it. As renowned management thinker Peter Drucker argued:

“The ultimate test of management is performance”

As we say in the guide, most managers want:

“… a team of people who are self-motivated and committed to doing their jobs to the very best of their ability: to “go the extra mile”. Managing performance is not about coercion; it’s about encouraging people to work to their potential – because they want to.”
