Performance reviews are an important part of being a manager. Just as you need to measure the progress of your project to determine if you need to adjust the cost, time or scope, you should apply similar oversight to your team.

In an ideal world, everyone would be able to do great work, get rewarded fairly, and have a realistic workload. Unfortunately, that’s not the reality most of us live in. With the harsh economic conditions of the past few years, companies have been forced to do more with less — leaving employees exhausted, frustrated, and overworked.
