It is my belief that organizations who set goals, and asses performances for their employees will always see an increase in productivity. When companies identify employees as assets, and treat them like they have a stake in the organization, they become loyal soldiers. Most businesses tend to forget they must appeal to their employee's human side. Setting goal, providing feedback is a gateway for a great employer/employee relationship. People tend to do their best when they believe praise is attached. Giving feedback ignites a flame for the employee to consistently work smarter, and continue to excel.
In my earlier years as a nurse, my manager provided me with some feedback that changed the course of how I practice nursing. She told me she sees the passion, and dedication in how I perform my duties. She told me she was generally inspired by me. She also advised me to keep up the good work, and to become less introverted, and more extroverted as a team member. I took her advice, and challenged myself to become a better team member. It was the best thing I could have done. I believe feedback, setting goals, assessment, are all building blocks to creating better, efficient staff as well as people in general.
2. Imagine you are working at an ice cream shop. It is the middle of summer, the shop's busiest season, and the electricity goes out during a storm. Rank the actions that you should take in order of importance, as your performance will be measured regarding your immediate actions.
Assess the advantages and / or disadvantages of having more than one source of performance measurement within a company. Support your position with examples. Of the performance measurement sources you provided, select one that you believe your current or previous company could benefit from and explain why.

The first thing I would do is look for a backup generator. If there is one, I would proceed to connect it. If not I would then, move the ice cream to the industrial freezer which would help slow down the melting process. I would alert the power company just to make them aware of the loss of power in my location. I would expect their phone lines to be chaotic due to the storm. I would they call the head office alerting them to the situation. I would then explain what I have already done, and ask for addition input. In my opinion, I believe this is the best, course of action. I believe I covered all my bases.
I believe there is an advantage to having more than one source of performance measurement when it is applicable. It's good to measure objectively and subjectively. I believe using the two forms of measurements, paints a panoramic picture of the employee's skill set, knowledge, and abilities. There are plenty of people who perform well on test, but cannot make swift confident decision on demand. It's like book sense versus common sense. Some people have both, some have one or the other.
