Page 16 of 17 Today’s Perception Tomorrow’s Reality Hard to link corporate strategy to what I do each day. Our corporate goals are clear to me; I know how my daily work impacts the overall strategy. Corporate-wide Goal Alignment Not enough meaningful, fact-based discussions with my manager; not sure that it’s fair. Reviews are fair, based on my goals; consistent feedback lets me know where I stand. Performance Management I am rewarded for measurable results; there is a link between my actions and my pay. I put in the hours, I get paid; no benefit for extra effort. Career DevelopmentLimited options for promotion; no guidance for my development. Several opportunities exist for me to take a leadership role at the company; clear requirements for getting there. Managers & Leadership Created from within Our managers/ leaders are weak, either promoted based on favoritism from within or recruited from the outside. 360-Degree Feedback The company develops strong leaders. Managers at the company are both well trained and caring. Single rater feedback.Provides opportunity for multi-rater feedback. AE’s Talent Management Success Factors adapted by AE
