[答案]BThe importance of teamwork
The employee and the supervisor are clear about the employee's goals required outcomes or outputs and how the success of the contributions will be assessed The goal in employee evaluation is to motivate a high level of quality and quantity in the work that the employee produces
The goals of the best employee performance evaluations also include employee development and organizational improvement The employee performance evaluation helps employees accomplish both personal development and organizational goals The act of writing down the goals takes the employee one step closer to accomplishing them
In the event that an employee is not succeeding or improving his job performance the performance evaluation documentation can be used to develop a Performance Improvement Plan
This plan provides more detailed goals with more frequent feedback to an employee who is struggling to perform The goal of a PIP is the improvement of the employee's performance but nonperformance can lead to disciplinary action up to and including employment termination
In many organizations numeric rankings are used to compare an employee's performance with the performance of other employees Numeric ratings are frequent components of these systems too
No matter how fair and nondiscriminatory these ratings are made to appear through the endless establishment of criteria for rating and they boil down to the manager's opinion of an employee's performance This is why numeric components in an employee performance evaluation process are not recommended

The meaning ofcommunicationgoes a lot deeper than people often
thinkCommunication is about conceivingsendingreceivingand interpreting messages as well as confirming reception of these messagesA failure at any point in this chain can result in ineffective communication
Ineffective communication can be disastrousThere is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the messageSend reinforcementswe’re going to advanceback to his Command Centerthrough along chain of subordinatesWhen the message finally reached the Command Centerit hadmutatedto becomeSend three and fourpencewe’re going to a danceThe reinforcements never arrived
You can demonstrate this same principlealbeit on a less dramatic scaleby trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 peopleIt is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with
In a businessthere are three main types of communication failureEach has its own indicative signs
●The first type is known as allocative failureThis occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or(most often) the information is not reaching the right pointsThe firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demandIf demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative communication failurethen stocks will fall and there will be under staffingIf the inverse happensthere will be a surplus of stocks and over staffing
●The second type is executive failurewhere communication to trigger specific eventsactions is either latelacking or in errorThe symptoms of this area general loss of direction in the company or departmentsa loss of coordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all
●The final type is human failureThis occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communicationThis leads to alienated staffan increase in staff turnoveran increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staffCreativityespecially that which takes place across departmental boundariesis likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips
