It's almost a cliche nowadays to admit that one 'hates' performance reviews. Everyone would probably agree that the old approach to performance conversations—schedule a sit-down with an employee and grill them about what they did right or wrong last year—doesn't produce great results. If feedback is difficult for most people, what actually works? What's the solution to the dreaded performance review?
In this episode, we meet Joe Hirsch, acclaimed speaker and author of 'The Feedback Fix', who is "on a mission to fix the way we work...at work!" Joe is the managing director of Semaca Partners, where they provide clients with research-based tools and techniques to improve their culture and organizational efficiency.
My Favorite Quotes from Joe Hirsch in this episode, (paraphrased):
“The best feedback focuses on a FUTURE you can control, instead of a past you can no longer change!”
“Leaders should help employees see themselves as MORE, not less than they were before a performance conversation!”
“The keys to a great performance conversation are CLARITY and COMPASSION!”
