Helping People Win at Work.
Most workers do not feel that their employee performance reviews are valuable.
That is what Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40 Company, discovered when he surveyed students in a business course he teaches at the University of San Diego.
“I recall, in one of my first classes, only 18 percent of the students surveyed said they had a positive, meaningful review in the last 18 months,” Ridge said. “I think that is deplorable."
The problem, according to Ridge, is that most performance systems are used for the wrong reasons. They are either arbitrary, conducted out of habit, or they are used just in case it is ever necessary to document evidence to fire someone. Ridge thinks that performance reviews should be used to develop people—not to evaluate them.

Feedback - The Breakfast Of Champions.
Leaders and managers in Ireland must become very skilled at giving feedback and having challenging conversations in the current tough environment. There are many opportunities for leaders to use manager/coach skills to deliver feedback that both hits the mark and does not come across as threatening in any way.
