New Book Has Blown Apart the Biggest Myth in Management Today

Sydney, May 5, 2016 AEST (ABN Newswire) - A new management book titled "Ban the Performance Appraisal" was launched in Perth today. The author is well known Australian mining CEO, Iggy Tan.

Today's 'performance appraisal' is a source of frustration for most employees who believe the performance appraisal to be unfair, demotivating and a waste of time. Yet why do we continue to conduct them conventionally throughout the world?

In a Rotary project CEO Iggy Tan shares his ideas on how to create high-performing organisations and the importance of workplace culture within an organisation. This includes banning the performance appraisal, creating a "no blame" culture, and rewarding team outcomes rather than individual performances. Iggy advocates regular, flat and direct communication and getting back to basic management.

"This book is terrific - it is a well-crafted, informative and revealing book, which is steeped in the author's extensive experience in leading and managing in organisations" - Emeritus Professor Gary Martin, CEO of Australian Institute of Management.

Other testimonials by leaders and CEOs include:

"Iggy Tan's brand of "Egalitarian Management" builds compassionate, kind and happy workplaces."

"This book should be compulsory leadership "101" reading!"

"For my money, Iggy Tan has blown apart one of the biggest myths in management today"

"Respect - this word bounces off each page"

"I enjoyed reading Iggy's refreshing approach as it speaks to the basics of human nature and what we hope management is about"
