Topic #1. How realistic is it to develop competencies on
every job? Is there a good substitute?
Topic #2. An organizations HR unit
requires managers to conduct 4 appraisal meetings with each employee. They also
require there should be two or more future-oriented developmental meetings
throughout the year. Furthermore, they indicate that these two types of discussions
should not occur in the same meeting. They are getting some pushback from
managers with respect to the amount of meetings. What advice would you give the
HR unit? (Feel free to help defend their position, or to have them change it.)
Topic #3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of
using peers, subordinates, and/or customers in providing performance
information?
