Theory vs. Practice in Books and Courses on Performance MGMT

Learning not only theory but how to actually implement good performance management in your office or other workplace has the potential to save your organization time and energy wasted in employee turnover. Books can give you theory, but not the physical tools to organize and practice more effective management. This is where LMS performance management courses come in.

What an LMS course in performance management gives you is that interactive learning experience, which has many benefits including the simple fact that it's faster and simpler than reading a book. In addition, its dynamic and interactive nature makes the information more likely to stick in your brain long-term and likelier to totally transform your management practices. The non-interactive nature of books prevents them from having this same function.

You probably already know some tenets of good performance management, but perhaps you don't know how to actually implement those ideas. You may be wondering, how can you foster the drive for success in your employees? Start by creating goal-oriented performance review meetings and appraisals.
