"Dr. Pulakos is one of the foremost experts on the practical
application of performance management approaches. Based on her
extensive expertise in this area she presents a down-to-earth,
pragmatic approach that focuses on what you need to do to gain the
best value from performance management and make your process work
effectively. This book is useful for everyone involved in
performance management -- executives, managers, and human resources
professionals." Dr. Nancy Rotchford, Director, Associate
Assessment Worldwide, Ingram Micro, Inc.
"Elaine Pulakos provides an extremely insightful and useful
book, the best ever written, to guide organizations in the design
or redesign of their performance management systems. It emphasizes
both strategic and tactical issues, with innumerable tips, best
practices, and examples as guides to action." Herbert G. Heneman
III, Dickson-Bascom Professor Emeritus in Business, University of
Wisconsin-Madison
"Practical, user friendly, and highly engaging, this book
reflects the author's considerable experience in designing, and,
just as importantly, implementing performance management systems
that yield tangible results." Wayne F. Cascio, US Bank Term
Professor of Management, The Business School, University of
Colorado Denver
“Pulakos provides the best information we have concerning
research on performance management systems, and combines it with a
list of “best practices” to guide every step along the
way. But what really sets this book apart is that Pulakos then adds
another layer and discusses the practical issues that may serve to
limit exactly what a company can do in this area. She then goes
even one step further and includes a series of training exercises
to help guide the manager on how to develop and implement systems
for performance management.” Angelo S. DeNisi, Dean, A.B.
Freeman School of Business, Tulane University

FULL TEXT OF ANGELO S. DENISI'S PUFF:
"Anyone interested in designing and implementing a performance management system will be well served if they begin by consulting a new book entitled “Performance Management: A New Approach for Driving Business Results” by Elaine Pulakos. Pulakos provides the best information we have concerning research on performance management systems, and combines it with a list of “best practices” to guide every step along the way. But what really sets this book part is that Pulakos then adds another layer and discusses the practical issues that may serve to limit exactly what a company can do in this area. She then goes even one step further and includes a series of training exercises to help guide the manager on how to develop and implement systems for performance management – not just performance appraisal – but the art of using appraisal information to help improve individual and organizational performance. This book is clearly written, practically oriented and yet based on scientific research. Stated simply, this is one of the finest examples of adapting scientific research for practice that I have seen anywhere." Angelo S. DeNisi, Dean, A.B. Freeman School of Business, Tulane University
