You don't have to stop developing leaders just because your training budget has been cut. In response to conflicting realities--reduced training budgets and a stronger-than-ever need to manage employee performance well--we've developed a free, downloadable book discussion guide. This new tool can be used to explore Painless Performance Evaluations: A Practical Approach to Managing Day-to-Day Employee Performance at your group's own pace. A regular, structured book discussion costs little and can be done at staff meetings or over the lunch hour. 

Start with the new Book Discussion Guide for Painless Performance Evaluations: A Practical Approach to Managing Day-to-Day Employee Performance which is now available at no-cost on our website. The guide includes a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the key principles of Painless Performance Evaluations, along with thought-provoking questions to guide your group's exploration.

• Download the free Book Discussion Guide
• Gather a group of managers or up-and-coming managers
• Assign one chapter per week or more if you desire
• Use the guide to discuss and explore the principles of Painless Performance Evaluations on your own

We know these are tough times. We also know that the need to develop strong managers is greater than ever. This tool has been developed for you. We welcome your feedback!

Best Wishes,
