A Task for Assessing the Impact of a Partner on the Speed and Accuracy of Motor Performance in Rats

Abstract:
Both performance and career development have potential for developing human resources--potential that can be increased by linking them together, says author Beverly L. Kaye, organization consultant. This marriage of convenience--and common sense--not only produces synergy, but also strengthens each process individually. Stressing a win/win approach designed to meet the needs of both individual employees and the organization, Kaye first examines the preparation required--preparation in terms of communication, especially listening and giving feedback; awareness of employees as individuals; the recognition that developmental moves are not always upward ones; and time assigned to soul-searching and self-assessment. However well the processes are integrated, the manager is still primarily responsible for performance appraisal and the employee for career development. Kaye offers a checklist of questions designed to help each.
