Performance Evaluation: When Targets Create the Wrong Behaviour


Listen Later

Performance measures are meant to improve performance — but what happens when they do the opposite?

In this episode, we explore a real-world style scenario involving Ken and Barbie, two employees in the same organisation, and a well-intentioned performance target that ends up driving dysfunctional behaviour.
