...This is a story of elimination of a leader/manager from a very collegial educational institute in South Asia. Instead of a normal evaluation, the management incorporated an anonymous multi-rater feedback. The 360 degree feedback, being anonymous, pointed the honest and negative aspects of the existing leader. Warning was given regarding the weak performance but the following year’s evaluation revealed the same result. The organization was forced to take actions against him. In the case of Sharjah Islamic Bank, it sets targets at the very beginning of the year for each and every employee. Employee performance is then judged on the achievement of targets. Those who turn out successful are awarded with salary increase and bonuses whereas the defaulters are given chances to improve. If required, Sharjah Islamic Bank also provides needed training for knowledge and skill enhancement of employees...
