Discussion. The Five Traps of Performance Measurement Diskusija: Pet zamki kod merenja performansi vaše kompanije Izvor: Harvard Business Review, Oct 2009 (adapted) Trap 1: Measuring Against Yourself While you should measure against past performance and goals to insure that you’re improving, what ultimately matters is how well you’re doing against the competition. Trap 2: Looking Backward The goal of performance management is to insure that you’re making the right decisions and following the right processes now, and not following the decisions and processes that were right for last year (and not now). Trap 3: Putting Your Faith in Numbers The numbers are meaningless if they’re not accurate (and include good surveys as well as bad), and, most importantly, not relevant to the goal you want to achieve. Trap 4: Gaming Your Metrics Many employees try their numbers to get results which are optimal for them but not for the business, which results in skewed metrics. Trap 5: Sticking to Your Numbers Too Long As your business evolves, your metrics have to evolve with the business. Before defining your metrics, be very precise about what you want to access and what the success criteria is so that you can not only re-evaluate your metrics in light of the goal on a regular basis, but also instantly recognize if the metrics need to change because the definition of the goal you are trying to measure has changed. Read the text and discuss the five traps of performance measurement.

Relative clauses (relativne klauze) Defining relative clauses (also called restrictive relative clauses) give detailed information defining a general term or expression. Defining relative clauses are not put in commas. Defining relative clauses are often used in definitions. A seaman is someone who works on a ship. Your colleague (who/whom) we met yesterday is very nice. Non-defining relative clauses (also called non-restrictive relative clauses) give additional information on something, but do not define it. Non-defining relative clauses are put in commas. In non- defining relative clauses, who/which cannot be replaced with that. Jim, who/whom we met yesterday, is very nice.
13
Restrictive/ defining relative clauses are used in definitions. Fill in the missing information by using restrictive / defining relative clauses: A shareholder is ______________________________________. Candidates or applicants are ______________________________________. CV (curriculum vitae) is ______________________________________. Sole trader (BrE) / sole proprietor (AmE) is ______________________________________.
