	If you're frustrated and dissatisfied with the results your organization gets from your performance appraisal system, this book offers an alternative: abolish performance appraisals! The co-authors are Tom Coens, a labor and employment law attorney, and Mary Jenkins, a Human Resource Management consultant. They bring a complementary style and approach to the subject, covering the legal and management implications of abolishing performance appraisals. This book addresses issues and questions most Human Resource practitioners face on a daily basis: Why isn't our appraisal system working? Should promotions be based on performance appraisals? Are there other options for managing performance?		If you're a manager, or aspire to be one, this book is a must to read! Buckingham and Coffman have compiled results from interviews with 80,000 managers in over 400 companies, which is the largest study of its kind. Interviews with successful, effective managers revealed that the best results come from breaking the rules! Buckingham and Coffman found that great managers know how to attract, focus, and keep the most talented employees. That's not a revelation, of course. However, the Gallup survey was able to discover the twelve definitive questions to ask your employees that measure the strength of your workplace. Be prepared to have your current thinking about management techniques challenged if you read First, Break All The Rules.

This "new deal" encompasses a new world of work in a virtual environment in which coworkers may seldom communicate face to face.

Work & Rewards in the Virtual Workplace shares case studies from companies that are prospering from their successful transition to using virtual teams on an ongoing basis.
