An important paradigm shift is happening in the purpose and process of performance reviews. For a long time, the primary goal of performance assessment was correction. Set performance standards → measure past performance against those standards → correct (or reward) performance. In this sense, performance and professional development were seen as one in the same. The only development that was deemed relevant was closing gaps in current performance to achieve current goals.
Today, companies and employees are recognizing that this Performance = Development approach is letting us all down.

The most successful and nimble organizations now take a Performance + Development approach. These companies create systems to ensure that employees are supported in achieving high performance today while also developing high leverage skills for the future. At LifeLabs Learning, we refer to high leverage skills as the skills that lie at the intersection of capabilities that companies need now and in the future + the skills that employees find personally rewarding and motivating to attain.
