Performance Appraisal on the Line
David L. DeVries · 1986
62/100

This one's grounded in real Center for Creative Leadership research on how performance appraisal actually plays out versus how it's supposed to work, which is a smart angle. But it's nearly 40 years old now, and appraisal practice and employment law have shifted a lot since 1986. Interesting as a historical case study, not a current HR reference.
