Customer Reviews
I have read about four or five other Performance Measurement books, which had long-winded chapters with highly-technical drawn-out examples. This book manages to sum up everything you need to know in a nutshell and is wery intelligently and concisely worded and taught. I am sure if you read and learnt the material in this book, you would excel both at any performance interview and/or job.
Well done Carl!
