P ART III

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

FROM THE VALUES AND

SOCIAL DIMENSIONS

Part II focused on the traditional dimensions of performance man-
agement and introduced the concept of horizontal alignment. Part
III introduces two new dimensions from the performance leader-
ship framework, the values and social dimensions. These dimen-
sions encapsulate the traditional operational and analytical
dimensions. In that sense, the performance leadership framework
doesn't replace traditional performance management methodolo-
gies: it offers guidance on how to implement these methodologies
in a better way. In the values and social dimensions, organizations
align strategy according to what the organizations stand for and
what the market is looking for. Understanding the sometimes con-
flicting nature of these internal and external requirements, and
striking the right balance, is the key to being an aligned organiza-
tion, where the self, self-perception, and external perception closely
match.
