Alignment is a key element of evaluating performance.  One of the most frustrating experiences during a performance review is proudly providing your list of 200 accomplishments for the year and your boss stating, "That's nice, but I really wanted you to do these three things and they didn't even make your list!"  That is a classic misalignment of goals, incentives, and performance expectations.  To do an effective job evaluating performance, there first has to be an understanding of the corporate goals, goals of the manager, and goals of the employee.  All must be in alignment and tied back to the mission statement or company values of your organization.
