   My comment is in reference to both this article as well as your older blog post you linked to. As a manager, I agree with a lot of your points about performance reviews. I admit I think a lot of them can be mitigated by doing them “right”/better, but your overall points still ring true to me.

   What bothers me is that I think you know all too well that it’s in bad form to propose the existence of a problem without articulating a solution. Even in the older post you linked to, the “solution” is incomplete and left me feeling it I had no idea how to solve this problem you propose. Performance reviews have a lot of positive uses if done right, and I don’t hear you making many constructive insights into how to truly replace them.

   What I’m really trying to say is that I’d much appreciate some helpful suggestions on exactly how to fully replace performance reviews without losing most of the benefits they offer.
