Charleston, SC, Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most performance systems fail not due to poor design, but because they are built for idealized humans who do not exist. In Performance is Personal, Chad T. Dyar challenges this notion, advocating for a human-centric approach to performance management.
