Dovetailing off of the previous two-part episode that covered developing employee performance objectives, this episode details and discusses one form of the employee appraisal process.  Like Episode 6, this one begins with Stuart presenting the process in a step-by-step manner, with Rachel joining us at the 13:08 mark to take us on a deeper dive.

Key Components:

• Rachel explains what she does not like about the formal performance appraisal process
• While Stuart defends it, knocks it, defends it, then knocks it again
• Stuart rails against the notion that managing is something that can be carried out using the basic human intuition one brings with them into the managerial role
• Stuart speaks about the culture at Netflix without knowing anything about Netflix's culture
• Stuart and Rachel talk about at least one alternative to the more traditional forms of performance appraisal systems
• Rachel ponders on who needs a FORMAL performance appraisal process more:  the employees or the managers?
