Ditch Annual Reviews

Yearly performance reviews aren't good. You have probably seen neglected and outdated goals in performance reviews in your career. They become irrelevant pretty quickly. Worse, they do more harm than good.

The best teams ditch the annual review cycle. Instead, they focus on:
  • Continuous feedback
  • Small, actionable coaching
  • Growth over grades
  • Space for trial, error and mastery

Solid teams that don't wait a year to improve. They get better every day.
