Most organizations have many means to manage work, which includes asking people to share, measure, and report on their progress.
And most have some form of technology, robust software, or task-specific tools, that is categorized as performance management to support managing work.
Unfortunately, the software or tools we leverage for better management aren’t supporting better leadership.
Practical and useful ways to manage better—to organize tasks and ensure that the work that is expected gets done—are important. Today, though, that is not enough.
I will discuss what a great manager as leader looks like in the next newsletter. For now, let’s look at what performance management does do, what it is missing to help managers lead, and how a leadership system (rather than performance management) can help managers become great leaders.
