We're not recordingHow the CEO ‘Roxanne’ Does Her Own Performance ReviewMost CEOs would rather eat tax forms than fill out a performance review. Roxanne Petraeus is no exception. In this episode, Melanie corners Roxanne into doing the one thing she dreads most: completing her own self-assessment live, on mic.What follows is equal parts therapy session, leadership masterclass, and roast. Roxanne reveals why structured processes feel like her kryptonite, how she balances vision with chaos, and why reacting fast might be her real superpower. Melanie doesn’t hold back either—pushing, prodding, and pointing out the blind spots only your Chief People Officer would dare mention.
