When people feel motivated, they perform better. But organizations that focus exclusively on increasing employee engagement are missing a key factor needed to produce outstanding performance. Even the most highly motivated employee will lose faith if they are battling with bureaucracy, use ill-suited systems or deal with conflicting demands.

Performance management is ripe for a change.
