Performance Management                                        129


                    Set ambitious but realistic (‘‘stretch’’) goals.

                    Encourage goal attainment with the promise of meaningful
                     rewards—extrinsic and intrinsic.
                    Be forgiving of honest mistakes made and risks taken in pursuit
                     of performance goals.
                    Celebrate your team’s efforts and accomplishments, both as you
                     go and when you finish.
                    Give positive and negative consequences in a fair and timely
                     manner, based on performance, not partiality.

                    Like David and his ‘‘mighty men,’’ make team members feel
                     like owners and partners.

                    Help employees make the connection between their actions
                     and bottom-line organizational success.
