Performance evaluations are rapidly becoming anachronistic and unnecessary, and often counterproductive, given how rapidly organizations are changing over time. There are many arguments for relying on annual or even quarterly performance reviews (Wilbanks, 2011). In reality, the external environment is changing so rapidly that many companies are having trouble keeping up not just with their competitors, but their customers as well. The concept of developing a performance review process is predicated on a relative level of stability over the long-term (Messmer, 2004). Yet if there is a single, resonating message from the last five years of economic turmoil, it is that the economy, its effects on spending and investment, and growth are all more unpredictable than ever. In addition to the massive amount of turbulence from an economic standpoint, there is also the challenge of keeping up to date with current company strategy, which in many organizations has been known to shift quickly to capitalize on opportunities while mitigating threats. Pay-for-performance performance reviews don't work in this context, as the initial objectives at the beginning of a financial period may be completely irrelevant at the end (Wilkerson, 1995). Further amplifying this problem is that the best employees are often not coin-operated or driven by money, they are motivated by having a very strong role in the future of the business. Transformational leadership is what propels the highest performers to continually strive to excel at their roles in an organization and gain autonomy, mastery and purpose of their jobs (Krishnan, 2004). Top performers concentrate on how they are performing relative to their own internal standards, and with excellent leadership those expectations can be defined (Krishnan, 2004). No amount of external pressure can make this happen, it has to be the decision of the employee to work.
