"I am an avid fan of Michael Armstrong's Handbook series and have
used them successfully with my CIPD classes for several years. This
text includes current debates on whether traditional performance
management systems add value to an organization and discusses in
depth the movement towards 'performance leadership'. Armstrong has
included distinct sections on hot topics such as managing the
performance of home and international workers that my students at
all levels will find useful, particularly for the latest CIPD suite
of courses. I will be recommending this text to my students and
predict that I will see many references to it in their future
assessments."
*Dianne Johnson, CIPD Course Advisor, Watson Martin Ltd*
"The 7th edition confirms Michael Armstrong's standing as the
preeminent author in the performance management field for both HR
practitioners and business students. He relates evidence-based
analysis of performance management principles and processes to
their utilization by managers who wish to become 'performance
leaders' in today's organizations. Armstrong identifies significant
challenges to traditional approaches to performance management,
together with ways of addressing these and evaluating performance
management's enhanced contribution. The new chapter on managing the
performance of homeworkers is particularly welcome given the
increased emphasis on homeworking following the Covid-19
pandemic."
*Dr John Simmons, Lecturer, University of Liverpool, Management
School*
"As an academic teaching in the field, backed with years of
relevant industry experience, Armstrong's Handbook of Performance
Management is both a professional practitioner and academic
toolkit, resourced with a complete suite of comprehensive tools and
techniques managers and leaders need in today's business landscape.
I am confident that any student pursuing to acquire the
competencies of a performance leader will certainly experience the
promises that the book seeks to achieve. It is definitely a valued
book that will have a long tenure in the collection of the
successful leader."
*Dr. Stephen Tan, Murdoch Business School, College of Arts,
Business, Law and Social Sciences*
