[Sonny Liebeek]

A must read for anyone who measures performance of employees or wants to implement more or tighter control in their company. Also useful for people who are being evaluated by superiors. The book gives many advantages of performance measures, but also turns to the disadvantages, and possible solutions.

Si aprendí dos que tres cosas la verdad. Me salté todos los casos, resolví suficientes a lo largo de 4 años y medio.

[J-P]

Easy to read. Huge amount of cases so the theory section is pretty short

[Jenni]

A fairly easy book to read with LONG examples (interesting but not necessary to read them).
