Quotable: Donald Kirkpatrick

There is general agreement that the same approach should not be used for appraisals aimed at salary decisions and those aimed at improving performance. But in both approaches, an appraisal of performance IS necessary.  The main difference is that performance appraisal looks back, and the training looks ahead.
