Identify performance problems and intervene to correct what's wrong--that's the usual model for many of today's performance improvement efforts, say authors Richard F. Gerson and Robbie G. Gerson. That approach is too punitive, they contend, and in Positive Performance Improvement they urge managers instead to identify what employees do well and build on those strengths.
