Rethinking Performance Reviews

Performance reviews often miss the mark, focusing on outputs rather than understanding what truly drives employees. In this episode, I introduce the Motivational Pie Chart, a tool to help leaders uncover what motivates their team members – whether it’s recognition, creativity, or personal growth. By aligning employee motivations with roles and goals, leaders can foster engagement and happiness while improving productivity.

The Death of SMART Goals

In this episode, we examine why traditional SMART goals often lead to stress and burnout. I share stories from my career in sports psychology, where focusing on controllable process goals helped athletes win on the world stage. Discover how leaders can apply this same strategy to the workplace, creating a culture of resilience, focus, and sustainable success.
