119: The Power Of Great Performance Conversations, With Joe Hirsch

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!"
