People are the problem. They're always the problem. If a business person goes home frustrated, if they talk with their significant other about it, if they lay awake at night stewing about it, inevitably the problem is some person at work - a colleague, subordinate, or boss. Handling people issues is every leader's major headache. It's what takes up the majority of their time and - more important - the bulk of their head space. Every leader can and must develop this most important of all management skills.

Armstrong on Reinventing Performance Management presents a holistic approach to performance management, drawing on Michael Armstrong's vast research and experience. Most organizations have performance management processes in one form or another, but these are often based on formal annual reviews, forced rankings and directly linked to pay decisions. These traditional approaches are often at the expense of ongoing, continuous feedback and focus on looking back at what has or has not been achieved rather than looking forward.

Enjoyable book about the HR profession
Lots of nuts and bolts tips and anecdotes designed for HR professionals. I’m a business owner so this wasn’t exactly written for me but it was quite enjoyable and the author was very likable. Five star listen.

Disappointing
The writing and delivery of this book is disappointing. I would describe it more as a book on his complaints and inappropriate actions than an HR book. Examples are that he rambles on about inaccurate complaints about an industry he claims to love and the fact that he has a real sword in his office at work. Any true HR professional would never condone a weapon at work, certainly not the HR lead of a company. Please don’t read this if you care about Human Resources.

Great story, stuffy narrator
This was the book I needed to recharge my mindset within HR. We can feel alone sometimes and often question why we do what we do and this book is exactly the reasons.
The narrator sounded stuffy the entire book which was distracting personally. There were some things that would have crossed over better with reading the physical book.

Great insight.
This book was a great read. I think it’s suitable for those just coming into HR and those who have been in HR for a long time reconsidering their position in the field. I am one who chose HR on purpose and this book did a great job at reminding me why.
