We would say that the first step to Performance Management is to follow Jim Collins recommendation:

The second step is to evaluate what makes your good performers tick & what hinders them, then work on:
Engagement and Internal Motivation
We have a few decades of experience assisting with issues of People Management and Organizational Management, and would look forward to assisting you.
