Assignment task:
An organisation should really consider the sort of working environment they are looking to either maintain or achieve before putting together a person specification. Completing the following activity will give you small taste of the person specification activity but should also get you thinking about the different skills and traits needed to engage and sustain a classical or a contemporary approach to performance management.
Step 1: Construct a person specification for a manager expected to conduct a classical approach to performance management. By classical, a focus on the bottom line and a reliance upon rigid regimes such as the annual appraisal.
Step 2: Construct a person specification for a manager expected to embed and conduct performance management with a more contemporary edge, as detailed in the articles from Gigov (2019).
