The job performance of a key employee had been raised as an issue. But unless you bring more rigor and discipline to the performance management process, you'll never really accurately know. This involves, at a minimum, employee job objectives that are clear and measurable, and some sort of regular mechanism for assessing employee performance. The result is that the niceties of employee management can take a back seat. It isn't productive for employees, who are being judged on unclear imprecise measures, and it's isn't productive for management, which likely isn't optimizing employee performance.
