Examination Is Not Everything. No Assessment Is Impossible.

Journey to the west is a familiar classical literature. Today I want to talk about it from the perspective of performance appraisal.

For the convenience of the following analysis, Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, pig Ba Jie and Sha Seng are regarded as a company of Western Paradise. In this company, Tang Seng decides the main strategic target, which can be regarded as the chairman of the company. Sun Wukong is the executor of the company's main strategy, and is the company's CEO.

Let's take a look at how the company conducts the examination.

In this company, the first assessment of CEO is very necessary, because the quality of his work directly affects the development of the whole company.

Because Tang Seng himself can not distinguish the monster, he often regards the monster as a human being as a good person, which means that Tang Seng can not control the process of Sun Wukong playing the monster.

At the beginning, Tang Seng was overly concerned about the process while ignoring the result. He mixed too much personal value judgment, so the result of the examination could not be convincing.

On the feedback of the examination results, Tang Seng's punishment is the main reason. Sun Wukong's resignation is no longer normal.

Here, it involves the assessment of a process and the examination of results. What is the orientation of it?

For the high level, everyone has different ways of dealing with problems. Besides, his work has great uncertainty. If we examine from the process, it will inevitably bring great obstacles to Sun Wukong's work.

The purpose of Tang Seng's opening a company is to acquire authentic scriptures in the western world. The task of Tang Seng is to clarify the route of taking the Scriptures, formulate a great strategy, and how to reach a strategy is Sun Wukong's business.

Attention to the process of assessment will only lead to some unnecessary troubles, such as the bottomless pit incident, because Tang Monk insisted that the rat was a good woman, and thus negated Sun Wukong's judgment.

If you hire Sun Wukong, you should believe in his ability. Your assessment is only for the result.

If you are not completely reassured about Sun Wukong, you should do a good job of establishing an incentive system and unifying the goals of Sun Wukong and the company. That is to say, Tang Seng should fully communicate with Sun Wukong on the vision of taking lessons, so that Sun Wukong's business quality is very much related to his own interests. This is why Sun Wukong worked harder when he learned later.

As for control, Tang Seng has already had enough charm.

This kind of control is actually applied very little, but this gives Sun Wukong certain psychological expectation. His misconduct may incur punishment. In this case, the whole Western Heaven's assessment mechanism of the company is perfect.

It is more important to assess the pig's performance.

His work is mainly routine work, and the results of his work are difficult to quantify, so the process control and supervision is very necessary.

Tang Monk did not have the ability to supervise, so the assessment of pig Ba Jie was mainly carried out by Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong did some irregular checks to normalize pig's daily behavior.

The key to the assessment of pig Ba Jie is still to clarify his position. His evaluation should be directed at the completion of his work. However, the company's position on the pig is vague and there is no definite job description. So the pig has done everything. Therefore, when appraised, it is easy to ignore his work performance, but he is entangled with some of his personal qualities.

* * according to the merits, the pig is better than the sand monk, but the performance of Sha Seng is better than that of the pig.

It's only because the sand monk's personality is better.

But this kind of personal quality is not necessarily related to the performance of the job, and personal quality is a relatively abstract thing. It is very difficult to identify the quality by examination, and this quality has a lot of deception. The core role of the examination is to improve the overall performance of the company. This is the fundamental goal, of course, this is not to say that quality is not important.

Personal morality has a great relationship with his environment, that is to say, corporate culture plays a guiding role in personal behavior norms of employees, and this can not be achieved through examination.

When we examine, we must define the decomposition line of examination and other functions, and apply the old saying: "examination is not omnipotent, and no assessment is absolutely impossible."
