Svantaggi
Extremely political and subjective appraisal process. A manager can shine a light on the smallest development need or area of growth and completely ignore or dismiss positive performance results. It’s all about being known and liked by a broad audience and making sure your manager likes you and wants you to move forward or up. If they don’t, they have the power to discredit any accomplishment. The cultural philosophies sound great, but they aren’t actually followed or executed. The appraisal process is labor intensive and time consuming but doesn’t yield accurate results. It’s not transparent. Often you don’t find out the benchmarks by which you’ll be measured until the END of that evaluation period. The calibration model creates forced “losers” regardless of performance. It’s not a totally fair process.
