I am being made to look as though I am the problem. Having managed 75+ people in previous positions I have held I never encountered anyone like this. Thank you for your article it has helped me try to seek a different approach with the individual. I believe an entire book could be written on this subject alone.

The results are consistent with recent findings published in some Psychological journals see: Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2010; 19 (5):324 DOI:10.1177/0963721410383246. The bottom line from the cited article is that individual performance goals in annual plans are corrosive to workplace collaboration. Even if done perfectly, performance plans are apt to create a collection of high performing individuals not a high performing team. Individual performance can undercut synergy and keep you from getting more than simply the sum of all the parts. Great article.

The amount of data social networking tools can provide about an employee go far beyond just demographic details - Interactions, knowledge, informal / formal groups, behavior.
